From the plum garden in my neighborhood
« on: February 26, 2022, 21:27:25 »
About 20 minutes on foot, I can visit this public plum garden called "Ikegami Baien".  It is a good destination for the stroll, because I can get there without depending on any traffic system that are generally crowded, especially during weekends.

This weekend, I found various Japanese plums in the garden in the best states to appreciate.

All images were shot with SIGMA fp and 45/2.8 kit lens.

Thank you!  This garden is located in the area where lots of Buddhist temples are gathered.  So, the garden carries somewhat serene atmosphere.
