A plum-viewing picnic!

In Fujieda. Thirty or forty minutes from Shizuoka City.

Along the banks of the Seto River. Dozens of plum trees.

Strolling along, singing a song.

White so white.

Lots of folks joining the show.

Thirty or forty mejiro flit by. They seem to have a one tree, one flower policy. As a group, they seem to flow along like a river. Too hard to get a picture. Best just to watch them zig and zag.

The mukudori are pretty energetic, too, but they move at a slightly slower pace.

A glorious day.
