I took these photos during a brief visit to Kagawa-ken in April, when flowers of all varieties were in full bloom. Lovely, aren’t they?

Beautiful, delicate photographs.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for stopping to say that, Bill!
These blossoms are so delicate & beautiful. Spring in Japan might just be the most beautiful in the world, just for the blossoms! :)
It’s certainly the most beautiful I’ve seen so far. What is Spring like where you are?
Oh wow, these are so gorgeous. I’ve been seeing lots of trees in Bangkok but not so much flowers lately, it’s so nice to be able to see some! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! Did it smell great too? I’m digging photo #4 a lot too, the trees kinda resemble bonsais!
I thought they looked like giant bonsais too! I don’t remember a particular scent, sadly. Just felt spring-y in general.
Lovely
These blossoming trees are so beautiful.
these are so pretty. i hope to visit someday. you’re my travel inspiration, Allison. :D by the way, i’m loving your blog’s new look.
Thank you, Katrina! Trying to simplify a little bit around here. My only wish is that I could get the images to display in a larger size. WordPress doesn’t seem to allow anything bigger than this :(
I hope you do visit someday!
Oh the light you captured…wow! I love the quote you paired with it. When you mentioned on my blog you were reading a novel by Annie Dillard, I was amazed because I had purchased one of her books (The Maytrees) that very day!
