The Sea of Spring
These flower trees are often seen along the roads in Tokyo.
They produce so many tiny white flowers
on their branches at this time of year.
I recomend that you get closest to the flowers
when you see them and enjoy the sea of spring!

Japanese name: 雪柳（Yuki Yanagi, Snow Willow)

I often take many shots of the same subject.
Later at home, I pick up one of the best shot
and upload it to the Web site.

But as for this one, I didn't take time, and shot only one time.
Many people have uploaded the same kind of
"nature" images there, so I thought this one
was nothing special.

But my guess was wrong.
Some people say the image is one of the best among mine!

There are images I spent more time,
and I like much more.

I am glad people say they like my images,
but sometimes I have mixed feelings.
