happymarchhappysundayhappyeveydayhappymemories

yesterday's cherry blossom photo was from my first visit to Nara a few years ago. (pre-digital camera).  today's cherry blossom photos are from last April.  the first one is at Banpaku Kinen Koen (Expo Park)(and very easy to recognize because of . . . ).  i took this photo after the wonderful Expo Jazz Festival.  the sun was setting on a beautiful day of music and ohanami.
the second photo is of one cherry blossom which i watched float down (perhaps from heaven) to land safely in the arms of a pine tree.


and in case you didn't make it to the beach this week.  or in case you aren't going there today for a nice walk, a picnic, to see (take photos of) the beautiful green in the waves, put your toes in the water, look for seashells, fall asleep on the warm sand, bird/seagull watch, perhaps surf if you have a wetsuit, fly a kite, work on your tan . . .

that "green" as seen from the Hermosa Beach pier.
