good friday... will it be?

i will let you know at the end of the day.

tonite`s delicious dinner ごちそさまでした。

well, the end of the day is here. i didn`t go far from home but i found a couple of new places in the neighborhood that had some cherry blossoms in full bloom. and while i was getting lunch from the obentoya-san, i met a Japanese comedian. how often does that happen in Torrance.
if you know why is was a long day . . . you know why it was a long day. ashita ga aru, ashita ga aru.  明日がある、明日がある。。。


this sakura was in full bloom and seem to be almost exploding. i found this cherry blossom tree this morning when Noriko`s Father and i went for a little o-sampo (walk). actually he left on his own and i caught up with him. same story, different day.


this statue was inside the grounds of the temple where the cherry blossom tree (photo above) was blooming.


yes, that is a risu (squirrel). tony will be jealous that he did not go. and yes, those are fallen cherry blossom petals.

no, not snow... sakura no hanabira (cherry blossom petals).

are you thinking Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival)?

by chance, i found this beautiful place just before sunset.
i should return here soon
maybe tomorrow
this is part 2 from April 3rd.
