Today was a great day for a ride; I had a clean bike, a new set of wheels, and the weather was looking good. I brought my camera along in hope of scoring some good cheery blossom photos. I didn’t see a single tree that was in full bloom. If the weather holds I should be able to get some good cheery blossom photos next week.

I took these pic’s on the way to the Kentai bridge.

The famous Kentai bridge! You won’t be able to move in this area for tourist come Saturday.

As you can see, these trees are not quite in full bloom. I had to stick in the bike photo; as I have a new set of wheels to show off. I posted a new wheel report in the wheels and tires forum.

A few more blooming photos! That’s all for today. I hope you all have a good weekend, and some good cycling!

They look good to me already. That second one in the final group is especially choice; the third one is also good, but whoever decided to put that telephone pole there should commit seppuku. Not your fault, obviously.

Looking forward to the full bloom....

This could be it!

Rain in the weekend weather forecast could spell disaster for the cheery blossoms. This happened the first year I lived in Japan; I waited, and waited, and than a big rain / wind storm knocked all the blossoms off the trees. It will all be history by this time next week!

Well that sucks. I was really hoping to see some more of your great shots. Well, maybe you can get the cherry blossoms on the ground shots .
