Cherry blossoms along the Saho River

2023-3-26

Along the Saho river in Nara city, there are places where cherry tree lines can be seen more than 1 km.  In early April, cherry trees have full bloom and crowded with people who come to see them every year.

This year, the flowers were in full earlier than usual in the end of March. And today, it rains all day and there were few visitors. This is a chance for me to take photos of cherry blossoms, so took out SIGMA DP3 Merrill. I thought water droplets form petals were so beautiful. (Photos are all taken by Sigma DP3 Merrill)

Lily of the valley was also blooming at the feet of the cherry trees.
