The end of Sakura

It's almost over, and the first cherry trees got already completely rid of their amazing white/pink flowers, replacing them with fresh green leaves. The last weekend and Tuesday were Sakura days. I spent Sunday with Machis family and we went on a little hill close to Saidaiji were not many Sakura tourists gathered under the trees to take their lunch.

Mellu (family Hidakas dog) went also with us, even though she is always pretty afraid to go outside. A real house dog that even has it's own toilet at home.

Tuesday the party went on, as Nishigaki sensei invited the whole Lab for a Sakura Party in the Handayama botanical Garden. We were not the only one with this idea: Many other study groups from the close Okayama University gathered in the garden and enjoyed the evening Sakura event.

We were lucky with the weather and at 9 o'clock, after the University staff got drunk and sang songs we went home. Here are some more Sakura impressions. I'll probably stop posting now articles about Sakura, so please enjoy those last pictures of the most beautiful season in Japan!

Sakura falls - the rain kills it!

Even cats and birds become friends during Sakura (#^.^#)
