Just Blooming

Even though there were only a few blossoms that had just started opening, this was my favorite tree at Shiogama Shrine.

Kobai Plum Blossoms

These awesome red blossoms are called kobai (紅梅). The fact that I remember that proves that I do in fact listen to her mother sometimes.

Shiki Sakura

DSC_2625

This kind of sakura is called a shiki sakura (四季桜) which means four seasons. I don't know why it is called that, but this was the only sakura tree in bloom when I went to Shiogama Shrine, so maybe it is called that because they bloom early.

If you go to Shiogama Shrine, be sure to go to the Shiogama Fish market.

Under the Cherry Tree

DSC_2610

Shiogama Shrine is a great place to go and look at the trees. It is very near the coast, but it is up on a large hill so it was not affected last year.

This shot is one that I have been thinking of taking for a while, but I only had one lens. Now looking at this, I should have taken a few and made a panorama. I wish I had not seen that. Now I want to go back.
