Such beauty and grace YT... :)
Blossums always have that delightful, sweet, yet soft perfume and when the petals fall we enjoy them again as the magic carpet before us... :)

Thank you for the visit, Ann!Here is a haiku for your expectations:

And that amount
More warmth."

This is a justly famous verse.

Yes, Joggie, you are right! This is a "popularr Japanese icon" and people always look forward to ume starting to bloom.Here is a haiku by Buson:
"In nooks and corners
Cold remains:
Flowers of the plum."
Hope you like it.

My wife wrote before me, dear Ina, and I would like to add my thanks to hers. You are probably familiar with this shot, which I have taken last February at the famous park of Kairakuen. The albums with those shots in the rain and fog are good memories.Thank you for the visit!

A lovely and dreamy image, Yoshiyuki. I love the soft pink blossoms, like a veil, indeed, and the misty atmosphere and subtle pink tones. A very delicate and elegant image with superb colors, soft lighting and dreamy mood! Best regards, Ina

How wonderful for you to have these lovely early blossoms Yoshiyuki and your title is so apt. A beautiful misty look to the composition to remind us that Winter is still here but we know that Spring will not be long in coming. A lovely shot of all our hopes and dreams my friend...Best wishes to you...Ray

You've captured the essence of Japan with this delicate tree of soft blooms. It really does look like a soft whispy veil. So nice to see photos of blossoms. I do enjoy all the wintery snow scenes but this gives me hope of warmer weather and more sunshine around the corner. A lovely image Yoshiyuki.
Cheers - Ann :)
