What better way to tell the arrival of spring in Tokyo but for the ume (plum) blossoms? Here are some pics taken in front of Waseda university. Rather lame photos, but they are really nice in real life, and sweet smelling too...
Still, I can't deny that daffodils remain among my favourite signs of spring... There's not as much daffs here in Japan compared to UK - I actually stopped riding the bike on my way back from Urayasu a few days back to snap these shots
"...They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."
- William Woodsworth, Daffodils
