Apple orchard and end of spring

 It was the warmest spring that I have ever had in Morioka

Cherry blossom, apple flower, violet... everything seemed to bloom 

I was wrapped up in my part time job and I almost missed apple blossoms 

Apple blossoms were almost over but luckily I could see some 

Thanks to a person who pushed my back in a busy morning before going to work

I will share my spring days with you

Side of the orchard is also beautiful with wild grasses

Morning work 

I don't open my curtain these days so that I can wake up with sunlight

I wish I have a slow  morning and a partner who can sit and eat breakfast together

There is another kind of Sakura (cherry blossom tree) and 

it blooms little bit later than common sakura

The sakura seemed to have  waited for me and welcomed with petal shower 

I really enjoyed the shower and I got lots of energy for the day

Green is already dark 

It seems summer is coming soon 

Sakura in Morioka

I want to share several photos of cherry blossoms (sakura) in Morioka

Sakura this year was around one week earlier than usual 

It rained a lot for several days 

so leaves of sakura started to come before it was fully bloomed

Last swan that left in Takamatsu ike

Morning walk
It is hard to have clear morning in Morioka
There is always fog and clouds

It was a cold morning and fog was created on the pond

Different kind of sakura

Hidden spring

Out of focus
Birds drink the syrup of flower and they are the leftover

Yozakura
Thanks to civilization we can enjoy night sakura
It is a Japanese culture to have a party under sakura
I had sakura party many times this year

Koi and sakura

A man who feeds wild birds
Most of birds have already flew back to North and the pond is kind of empty
