赏花

this is the 5th week i am in Japan....we always wanted to see cherry blossom, as japan is famous for it, and up till now, cherry blossom is still not yet to be seen as it's still too cold for it....been searching up and down, hi and lo and always ended up disappointed....so today, my colleagues and I stumbled into a surprised...we were on our way for mount climbing and as the train passed outside tokyo...the cosmopolitan feeling is replaced by a relaxing feeling of "village"....we not only see mt FUJI, we also see a lot of colourful patch of forest in the mountain...so after our painful mt climbing, we decided to drop by to see what that is....it turned out to be a plum blossom garden...the town is full of plum blossom and all houses have at least a plum blossom....the garden is so pretty, it's filled with plum blossom....there were ppl picnicking, taking pictures and just walking around :) we were among those who walked around to take pictures...真是人间仙境啊~~~忍不住拍了无数的照片。。。我想赏樱花也大概是如此吧。。。虽然没看到樱花,看梅花我也心满意足了^^

Top picture: a forest of plum blossom; middle and bottom pictures: my photography of a plum blossom and two of the pics that i love :)
