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!

HOW GLORIOUS this is. Mt. Fuji in all her splendor, offered the most wonderful backdrop for the lovely and no doubt very fragrant plum blossoms!

This is for me Japan from its most beautiful side, the orchards in bloom and snow-capped Mount Fuji in the background. What a lovely photo!

I love the pink tinge on Fuji which matches the blossoms. Classically beautiful, Gabriela.

What can possibly say "Japan" better than this shot! Bravo!

You got a good view there! I took some from the shinkansen last week, first time I've ever seen Fuji-san clearly, but not as pretty a view as this one...

A great photography, festival of spring colors and the bottom this great mass that is the Fuji, completely covered with snow. A brilliant and excellent apprehension. Regards Gabriela!

It looks amazing that the trees are showing to us the spring, and the Fuji is showing the winter!

I've heard so much about Mount.Fuji! People from Japan must be really proud of it :) Great capture of the flowers and the mountain as the background.

Uwah!!! That's some beautiful scenery!!! I especially like the way Mt. Fuji peeks outta the blue sky like that. Its so surreal!

This is a particularly beautiful image, Gabriela. The contrast between the sky, the soft lines of Mount Fuji and the foreground detail make this very attractive, indeed.
