And then the photoshoot begins.

Matching. Outfits. Not uncommon, but these girls were just adorable. 

                

 

Blue tarps and lanterns set out in preparation for various 花見 (flower viewing parties). 

Young blossoms

Ahoy there! After truly assimilating into the Japanese lifestyle, I now no longer than any free time (><). You are about to be bombarded by snaps from Japan's most beautiful season, 春.  These were taken around the beginning of May in Goryokaku Park, Hakodate 五稜郭公園. 

Kids posing in traditional costumes outside the Magistrate's Office. Nawww.

 Although the weather was rather bleak and windy, the young blossoms cheered the gloomiest of spirits. Stay tuned for yet MORE close ups of the splendid cherry blossoms.
