You must have seen a bunch of cherry blossom pictures in everywhere in past couple of weeks. I took many pictures of Sakura(cherry blossom) as well. This is one from my album.
It was awesome. I enjoyed taking pitures of them and view from inside of Sakura curtain.
I jave never seen this kind of Sakura but it is called “Shidare Sakura” in Japanese. Means overhanging Sakura. (could be wrong. if you find a proper words to explain, please update!)
This tree is in “Danchi” yard.
Danchi is a kind of apartment complex. Most of residents are families. Rent is cheaper than other apartment but, there are some conditions to apply. Salary check, number of family members et al.
After moving into Danchi, you still have many regulations you have to keep. Sorting out trashes, no loud music in midnight, don’t paint wall, no carpenting without permission etc etc.
I actually wanted to post this picture while the tree was still pretty though, I found out that I could not write “let’s come to see!” because you will need an escort to get in Danchi yard.
