Week 49

The Ume Blossoms

Most photographers (and everyone else for that matter) tend to focus on the ever popular cherry blossoms around Japan this time of year. Here are some shots of the underrated plum blossoms around the park which are equally beautiful and bloom a lot earlier than the cherry trees. These particular trees seemed very old, but were holding on with a few blossoms popping out here and there.

The cherry trees should start any day now. Also, here is a great book on snow and the cherry blossoms from Risaku Suzuki called Yuki Sakura.
