Ume and Mt.Fuji......

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 22 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

We had an unexpected surprise today with Mt.Fuji showing itself in its winter dress over the blooming plum trees at Soga Bairin, near Odawara. Good weather, warmer than yesterday, but the sky was not that blue.....and there was a haze in the air. We visited only one of the orchards (there are 3 of them in total) and had a picnic sitting on a bench and looking at Mt.Fuji. I think it sent some energy my way, 'cause I felt happy and very much in shape for the rest of the day!
And the air was sweetly fragrant! my God, these trees ARE beautiful!!!!
Thank you ALL for your visits and comments! Hope you'll forgive me for not visiting you immediately, I'll do it tomorrow without fail! Yoshiyuki is working on his shots and we hope to show you some more!
