Cherry Blossom Season In Japan

[NATO AIR]

Thanks to the deployment schedule this year becoming all jacked up, we now are in port for a bit longer than expected. So I took some free time and took some pictures last week of the cherry blossoms in Yokosuka's Freedom Park (which is up in the hills, let me tell ya it was a hike!)

I even threw in a picture of the ugliest sailor I know. If you notice lazy eye is in effect, he has a good reason.... he got knocked out in the berthing boxing lightweight championship two weeks ago and his eye still hasn't healed!

It's quite beautiful!! Hope you don't suffer from any allergies!
BTW, you aren't the ugliest sailor, by a long shot. In fact, you look VERY familiar.

Go Bolton Air! The pics are gorgeous and the Sailor is cute. Bet you got some whistles! LOL Those laterns, are they the 'street lights' or just there for a festival?

For the festival. It is beautiful at night apparently. There were at least 1,000 Japanese there having a big ol happy picnic when I was there. Even better, I saw more dogs than I've ever seen in my life, dogs of all sizes, shapes and styles. All mostly behaving too, along with the kids as well. Great day.

Thank you, I'm just thankful the black eye went away quickly.... that was a heck of a knockout blow!

They ain't got nothing on the South!

Truth is, this is taken on the property of a former Maxell plant (Japanese owned)
near me, there must be 200 trees.
I guess they wanted a taste of home.

 

[Joz]

My o' my, what gorgeous trees! Wish they lasted all summer. D.C. is beautiful this time of year also.

 

[Mr. P]

... Wish they lasted all summer. ...

Me too! So short lived..

 

[NATO AIR]

wow,Mr. P, that's gorgeous!

The Sakura festival should begin soon in downtown Denver.

I always go for the food.

Nice pics NATO. Who's the flat-chested geisha girl in that center picture?

That would be about the nastiest looking geisha girl I've ever laid eyes on, she don't even have makeup or long hair! Not to mention the men's clothes she's wearing!
