Sakura in Morioka

At last sakura (cherry blossom) season has arrived in Morioka
Blooming was one month late from Tokyo
Even weather was not good, many people went out to see the sakura

People set a boat afloat and see sakura from the lake

Sakura: It seems sakura were shivering because of the cold weather 











Koi nobori: May 5th is the festival for boys
We fly carp-streamers and wish for healthy growth












Windy and bit too cold for boat












A boating dock





Kids were feeding ducks and carps





Arrival of spring to the field





Wild daffodils 












Sun showed up for just a second 






Yukiyanagi: Hesitate to bloom
Blossoms are originally white like snow
