Tuesday, with a fellow Minnesotan, I visited Rikugien Gardens and was pleasantly surprised at the grandeur of the popular weeping cherry tree. So big is this tree, that a wood structure has been erected underneath to support the far reaching branches and their bounty of blossoms. This garden, with it’s paths for strolling, a hill to provide elevation, and a pond for reflection, exemplifies the famous gardens of the Edo period.

so beautiful. I wish i was there to witness it in person. spring is still slow to come here. i have a few crocuses and the daffodils will blossom soon, but save for a few lilac buds, the trees are still bare.
How gorgeous!
