Kyoto Botanical Gardens 2006

Blooming red tulips

Yeah, I went back there again this spring. The red tulips were calling out to me! Hahaha

Hanami

It was raining when we started out in the morning. The weather forecast that I read said it would be sunny! Hah! But the rain stopped when we reached the botanical gardens but it was still cloudy.

The sakuras were blooming beautifully there but the tulips showed signs of suffering from the eratic weather in the past weeks. The last time I went there I did not remember the weeping sakuras, probably because when we went there, we were too late for them. This time we were right on time as that section of the park was in all shades of pink because of the flowers. Gorgeous!

Forest of sakuras

Here is another picture of the weeping sakuras. People were hanami-ing happily underneath the trees. Everywhere you turn - WHAM! Pink sakuras.

And this is the part where you can find the more common white cherry blossom trees.

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.
