A few sakura trees bloomed a bit early in Chiba this year.
These light pink blossoms appeared first (around March 29) in my quiet town on the coast of Chiba. Remarkably so because most of the other trees are still just buds at a park in Sosa City. The trees will soon make for a wonderful hana-mi area. Happy hana-mi season, everyone!
