Kaido (Malus halliana) blossoms: Genji-yama (Kita-kamakura)



Against the deep green shade of the grove, the full-blown blossoms of Kaido are shining brilliantly in the warm spring sunlight.

After reviving from long winter quietness, trees and plants have just done everything in their power to bear splendid flowers and fresh green leaves.

In this rapture of spring, every living thing is busily making its appearance to restart its precious story of life.


Spring grove: Kencho-ji



As spring awakens, leaf buds of various colors start coming out on bare branches to add elegant charms to a calm grove.
