Pretty in pink, they were fully blooming!

They say when the center of cherry blossom turns dark pink, it's about to fall off a tree. The days of their beauty were numbered!

Wheel tracks on a green lawn inside the park, it looked like someone was there before me.

In early April, I visited a small river in Sabae City where I could see carp streamers, cherry blossoms and pretty daffodils all at once. On my way back home, I stopped by at the vast fields of mustard flowers in the middle of nowhere. They were surrounded by untainted nature and so beautiful. When I was looking around in the yellow fields, I spotted a bunch of pink color in the far distance. They were cherry blossoms! As a certified Sakura hunter, of course I chased after them without knowing where I was heading. When I arrived, they were inside a some kind of park, but there was no sign or anything to indicate what it was. I decided it was a free park only for me, and enjoyed my tranquil stay under the beautiful cherry trees!
