Kyoto Botanical Garden in Spring

Gorgeous place in springtime, well, naturally because it is a botanical garden and where else can you find a wide variety of flowers? Rows and rows of red tulips first greet you when you enter the garden. The sudden shock of seeing the stunning red gives way to pleasure. And beyond the red tulips were the sakura trees in full bloom. Red and pink against the blue sky.

My dad is my inspiration. I remember growing up watching him take pictures with his camera and he continues to do so till this day. Now I find myself lugging my camera to most places, taking pictures that will serve as visual mementos in years to come and I would like to share them with you. Thank you very much for dropping by.
