You look old, tired and shabby. So do I, my comrade.

Early Spring Flowers2025/03/13

The other day, I went to Maizuru Park where plums were fully blossoming. 
And lingering daffodils. 
I seem to have been in time to appreciate the early spring flowers in the park. I already could smell the elegant scent of the flowers at the entrance to the park. Thank the gods that there were no food stalls selling punchy foods that would have overpowered the subtle natural fragrance.

Note: There is no cafe or kiosk on the castle ruin mound where the plum garden now stands. If you want to enjoy a mini picnic there, look for vending machines in the parking area, or if it is warmer, you can get nice(r) things at the Starbucks or the Royal Boathouse in Ohori Koen next to this park. 
I brought a cookie (from Ginza West! a gift from my husband's friend) and a can of coffee (160yen).
