Peony Garden in Spring ( 1 )

I took these photos in peony garden of Ueno Toshogu Shrine that is located in Ueno Park.
I have already introduced you winter peonies in the garden last year.
So I show you the garden in spring.
You can see petals of cherry blossoms on the ground in the photo above.
I think the garden has different beauty in both season.
