Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius
Pietro Aretino
No matter how long the winter, Spring is sure to follow.
What better way to herald the arrival of Spring than by enjoying the beauty of plum blossoms - blooms that symbolises the end of winter and the beginning of a warm and fertile season.
Seeing the plum blossoms
I wait for the song of the warbler
Spring has come
Veiled in mist

And to follow-up the celebration of Spring with the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms.
Robin Williams said - Spring is a nature's way of saying "Let's Party!". Crank that karaoke machine up! xD
beautiful pix! I wish the party would start. I'm a wee bit tired of winter now. Today is another cold wet rainy blah day in Tokyo. :(

Sure is. Spring and the burst of colours that during the season - I wish I can come and witness them again (and again). :)
DeleteLove the contrast between those two sets of pictures. Specially the first one, so cold and gray and then the lovely colours of the blossom.
ReplyDeleteI wish I have a better winter photo to put.
DeleteI really want to be in Japan in spring one day, so I can see the blossoms for myself.
ReplyDeleteYou should! Plenty of great places to see the blossoms. :)
DeleteBeautiful. Today it's not cold than before. I love the spring.
ReplyDeleteThat's nice. Hope the weather tomorrow will be good for runners. :)

Another 2 weeks, a lot of flowers will start blooming. :)
It's warmer here too! By 7.30am, I'm already baked by the morning sun. LOL
DeleteHow nice to see all the flowers soon. You'll share the photos, won't you? :)
Sure. I already took some flower pictures at the Royal Parks near Buckingham Palace.
DeleteBut most flowers were still "sleeping".
After my Kluang series, I think I got JB, Muar, Melaka, KL, the some KT series.
Then, Singapore series.
