Hi there.
Since moving to the middle of Tokyo, I have so much I want to write, but not quite enough energy to write it.
So, for now, more pictures!
Shinagawa Plum Blossoms
These are the plum blossom trees along the canal near Shinagawa Station.
Many people adore cherry blossoms (called sakura in Japanese), but I’m more a fan of the plum blossoms (plums are called ume in Japanese). Sometimes I have trouble telling cherry blossoms and plum blossoms apart, but plum blossoms tend to be fuller and more vibrant pinks and reds. Most of them have already stopped blooming, but they were very lovely about a week ago.

I know what you mean about not having the energy to write even when wanting to…my problem is that I tend to ramble though, and my posts end up super long and never updated on time! Which is why I also have become to update more through photos in another blog.
Anyway, I also like ume blossoms! There’s a festival dedicated to ume blossoms in a small town where I live, and though I haven’t been yet, I’d like to go this year. Sakura-blooming still hasn’t begun up North yet, though!
I completely get you! That’s what often happens to me. The posts I plan to write are usually pretty long, so I end up putting them off.
Ume blossoms are lovely, right? I’m so jealous of your ume blossom festival! I hope you can go this year. Wow, I didn’t know sakura still haven’t bloomed up North yet. There’s still time for me to get a plane ticket to see them! Well, if I had the funds… ^^;;
