yokohama

Yesterday was forecast for sun, so I made sure to get out and about

I debated about whether to check out the Royal Palace's sakura or go to Yokohama.

I decided to check out Yokohama, because I had seen something online about 800 trees along the Oooka River

The bummer thing about IG these days is that they got rid of the "recent" feature on reels, so you can't tell what is actually current

Anyway, Maita Park is located in a part of Yokohama that I hadn't been to before so I was interested to see what was what

Unfortunately not many trees were in bloom at the park, so I walked along the river

Luckily there were many early blooming sakura trees

I also stumbled upon some street art

This area was also part of their red light district so parts were a bit sketchy...

This year everyone’s cherry blossoms started early so the weather dude said by April it should be hot & humid (oh joy! not!)

With global warming all the “good” seasons (Spring & Autumn) seem to be getting shorter and shorter

The next couple of days are forecast for rain, so it was nice to be able to see some cherry blossoms
