In mid-January, I walked through Suigetsu Park. The trees were all bare and if it weren't for the blue sky, it would have been really gloomy.Then at the beginning of February, I went back and noticed that the momo/ume (peach/apricot) blossoms were starting to bloom.

There was even someone who brought her pet rabbit with her to the park while she photographed the blossoms.The robai (a waxy flower) ro = candle/wax, bai = apricot was also in bloom. I really like this flower because it has a strong fragrance.

I didn't know about this but there is also a little pond for fishing. There were several men/women fishing, I wonder what they were catching? Whatever it was the sign nearby said that they weren't allowed to use lures.
On yet another trip to the park it was a cold but sunny morning, I walked over a nearby bridge and spotted these ducks sleeping in. (Satoshi doesn't believe me when I tell him that they can fly.)When I got to the park, more momo/ume trees had bloomed, including this weeping type. It was a beautiful day.
Today is the last day of February. Spring is coming...I can't wait!

What a huge rabbit! Do you think she has a leash for him? Just kidding, but seriously that is a big bunny.
I like your "nature shots," especially the pink flower.
looks like a very nice park~ i cant wait for spring to come to us!!
actually she did have a leash for the rabbit, Anon, the rabbit had a "handle" of sorts for her to pick it up like a handbag.
I hope Spring comes to you soon, Hanami!
Take care you two.

OMG... the sakura(s) was so pretty. sugoi-ne!!! ^^
Sorry Elcynthia, the sakura hasn't started blooming yet, maybe another month or so. These flowers were momo or ume.
Take care.

Love the ducks!
Right place, right time for that rabbit shot. Too cute! Looks like spring is definitely on a roll where you are. No flowers or leaves yet on the trees over here but I think within a couple weeks or so it'll start looking more spring-y.
Yes they were cute, Nate!
I couldn't believe they had a pet rabbit on a leash, Rowena :) I hope Spring starts springing soon!
Take care you two.

We have some ume in our yard. My favorite is a "weeping" one similar to the pink one in this post (only much smaller). The scent is wonderful, I agree.
I am jealous you have a yard, PB :)
Take care.

A VERY GOOD BLOG!
im definately going here next month! its in my to-do-list! but im still figured out how to go here from Shin-Imamiya station or Osaka Station? could you please tell me?
Faris, from Shin-Imamiya station, you need to take the subway (Midosuji) to Umeda (Osaka), then switch to the Hankyu Takarazuka line, get off at Ishibashi and walk about 10-15 minutes. Hope you enjoy it!
Take care.
