Japan Adventure

More azaleas in bloom. These remind me of the azalea hedge we had around the deck of our old house on 16th Avenue in Birmingham.

Weeping double cherry blossoms that bloom a little later & have leaves at the same time, which most of the cherries don't. I finished a chigerie picture recently with this type of cherry blossom. These are the ones that the sakura tea is made from. Aren't they beautiful?


Large tanker out in the bay at Kasado Island.


Driving back over the bridge to the mainland, the color of the bridge is even more intense in the late afternoon sun.
