Under Yaezakura Cherry Blossoms

Yoshino cherry (Somei-yoshino) blossoms have already finished in Tokyo.
But Yaezakura cherry blossoms are nice to view now.
I took these photos in Imperial palace plaza today.
And I enjoyed walking under those cherry blossoms.

Thanks Dear Friends

Thanks so much for giving warm words to me and Japan.
After the earthquake, I have an inconvenience life by electricity shortage.
But I can't complain it, thinking of the people suffered from the disaster.

By the way, this is a bridge in Koishikawa Korakuen taht is a Japanese style garden located in Bunkyo ward.
This bridge is called "Engetsu-Kyo".
I took these photos in last autumn.
It was only around four months ago, but It seems like a very long time ago for me.

This post will be last post on this blog in this month.
But I will come back in April and show you cherry blossoms in Tokyo.
