Yokou (Sun), Yoshino cherry tree and Sekirei (Tsukiji River Park)

[Yurikamome] March 30, 2010 11:15

 Today was a surprisingly cold day contrary to expectations, but I went to Tsukiji's "Mochikichi" to buy a gift for a friend. Only on Saturdays and Sundays, I bought 3 rice crackers of ¥210.-$525.-.

On the way back: A dark pink cherry blossoms were blooming at Bizen Bridge in Tsukiji River Park.

It's called Yokou.

It is a horticultural variety that crosses "Amagi Yoshino" and "Kanhizakura".

The following is Yoshino cherry tree. It was blooming near yokou.

Generally speaking, cherry blossoms are a typical variety of cherry blossoms that refer to Yoshino cherry tree.

It is a hybrid of "Edo Higan" and "Oshima Sakura", and it is probable that it was born in Somei Village (around Rikugien) in the Edo period.

In the case of buds, it is light red, but when it blooms, it turns white.

The above is "Sekirei", but it is small and pyongpyong ... I can't put it in the camera well because it jumps.

I did it.

 

 

In the morning of the arrest of Captain Sea Shepherd

[Yurikamome] March 15, 2010 09:35

  As you may have seen in the newspaper, the Tokyo Coast Guard was sent to the Harumi Wharf in a case where a member of "Sea Shepherd" illegally invaded the monitoring ship "No. 2 Shonan Maru" of the Japanese research whaling fleet. I received the handover of Peter James Bethoon from "No. 2 Shonan Maru" who entered the port.

 

The Japan Coast Guard patrol boat "PL66 Shikine" and the patrol boat "PL31 Izu" first arrive at Harumi Wharf and wait for "No. 2 Shonan Maru".

The second Shonan Maru carrying the suspect arrived at Harumi Wharf. "PC87 Suganami" and "PC23 Awanami"

A large number of patrol boats, such as "PS07 Tomorrow" and "high-speed rubber boats," arrive around them and are alert.

It seems to be a measure to eliminate various interferences.

 Several helicopters hovered and flew around the sky.

 There was a lot of noise and it felt strange.

Kawazu Sakura and Japanese white-eye

[Yurikamome] March 2, 2010 09:30

At present, the way home from buying Tsukudaniya, which has only three houses left in Tsukuda, ...

We took a detour and went to see Kawazu cherry blossoms on the northwest side of Chuo-ohashi Bridge. (An article about a cat on a hill

Just as Mejiro was playing on the branches.

It moves around the twig and doesn't stop for a second.

It was difficult to capture it in the camera, but I think, "If you shoot a few bad guns, you will hit them."

It is two of the shutters that have been released many times.

It's called Mejiro (Japanese white-eye) because my eyes are white.

Kawazu cherry blossoms are said to be a cross of Kanhizakura and Oshima cherry blossoms.
