The plum blossoms are the first flowers that herald the beginning of spring in Japan. We were lucky enough to spend one of the warmer spring days outside enjoying all of the hues that only these little plum blossoms can bring.
The Japanese celebrate these short lived blossoms by picnicking beneath its branches with bento lunches and sake. When in Japan, do as the japanese do! Here I am laying back after a good lunch of onigirii (rice ball sandwichs) and some fruit.
