Last day in April

My friend visited Amami-Oshima and came back yesterday, so we met this afternoon at a cafe.

Amami-Oshima island locate in north of Okinawa and in south of Kyusyu. This island is famous for beautiful coastlines and mangrove forests as well as "Amami rabbit".
(My friend gave me an unique Amami rabbit charm).

potato gnocchi gratin for me

After lunch I went to a park for fresh air!

these are Sakura trees! 

The park was filled with green leafy trees.

a lovely double-petaled cherry

I don't know the name of this flower..

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are not holidays, so 2 days work and then 4 days holiday again.

Rainy days

Weather report said, ' Tomorrow will be rainy day'.

Well, recently Tokyo got rain a lot.

Sometimes rain irritates us, but on the other hand rain makes beautiful world.

A quiet, peaceful scene which I love.

In a small town near Tokyo.

These flowers were planted in front of local small bar.

Sakura

A cherry blossom.

Sakura was very beautiful this year,

I went to Chidorigafuchi, one of the most famous cherry-blossom viewing spot in Tokyo at the beginning of April.

So beautiful, so fantastic and so crowded(oh!).

It was first time in her life for my mum, walking around the famous Chidorigafuchi.

So she vigorously walked even she was 78 years old!

I hope we can go there again next year....
