We have been to the Bonsai Garden in Federal Way before and this was not a full visit to the collection. However, at the entrance, they have a cherry tree bonsai and it was in full bloom while we were passing by. Everyone was stopping to take a look and to get a photo. It was absolutely stunning. Sadly, photos do not do it justice – well, at least my photos do not do it justice.
Early in the morning of my half day in Tokyo, we had a stroll across towards the Imperial Palace. I guess we had missed the peak of the blossoms in the city but there were still quite a few of them that were in bloom. It just wouldn’t be right to have walked by without grabbing a few shots for the collection. Yes, they could have been taken anywhere but they weren’t. They were taken in Tokyo so they are Japanese blossoms. Whether they were cheery or plum I don’t know so I guess the story is only half complete.
