White-eye

I was taking some photos of ume blossoms in the park and then the two little birds came suddenly. I succeeded in taking a shot of one of them. I wanted to take a more closer shot but the camera lens I was using at this time couldn't zoom in so much. May be I should try next time.

Red Ume Blossoms

Narcissus

Japanese Garden

This is a part of the Japanese Garden at Showa Memorial Park. Unfortunately, the weather was a little cloudy. Wish to have a sunny weather when I visit next time.

Ume Blossoms

I strolled in the park this afternoon and found some white and red ume blossoms. So far, there were only one or two ume trees with blossoms and some were still buds, but may be two weeks later they're all in full bloom. Hope to visit again in the right time.
