Avantpremiere to Spring

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 17 February 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Just a few days left until the blossoms of the wild plum trees will mark the arrival of spring! These wonderful little flowers decorate the black naked branches of the very sinuously trunked "ume"......So many poems dedicated to them, so many paintings.....But when they bloom you know that nature is awake, alive and kicking!

"For the heart
That doubts not,
The white flowers of the plum."
(haiku by Mokuin)
