Waiting for spring

Posted by: brb In: Places ()

Picture-taking among the tulips

Just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get colder than this I just got word that it will probably snow tomorrow morning. I can’t make up my mind if that’s good or bad news. Still, the thought of spring brings happy memories of flowers, hanami, and runny noses. The picture above was taken last year and shows two Japanese taking pictures among the tulips near the windmill at Kasumigaura Park.
