Beautiful plum blossom at Hanegi park, last month, where plum blossoms (ume) were being celebrated in the Setagaya plum blossom festival.  Preparation for  Sakura season.

Plastic Picnic!  Check out the amount of packaging in this family's plum blossom picnic!  They are not out of the ordinary! and they are out and about and enjoying family time. BUT The amount of plastic and packaging here does my head in!!!!!!

Plum Blossom and my office

There are two plum trees at the front of the school (the white one is just visible here) and  I am pointing out my office which is on the top floor on the left.  The winter has been better than I thought, with blue skies most days.  However I am glad it is nearly over.

Plum Blossom 3

The plum blossom festival was at Hanegi Park in Setagaya Ward, which is the ward where I live.  It is the most residential ward in Tokyo and you can get a sense of the suburban locality in the background of this photo.
The closest station to the park is Umegaoka Station - Ume - as in plum blossom.

Plum Blossom


The Setagaya Plum Blossom Festival is being held for a few weeks in a park near where I live. So on Saturday I cycled over to see the blossoms and take part in the festivities - food and performances and florists/nurseries selling flowers, plants and bonsai. There were plum themed foods - but I had a roasted cob of corn!  (The plum pickles are sour)

The pink and white blossoms on over 600 trees were at different stages of flowering, but beautiful.
