Tama Forest Science Garden, Takao (April 10th)

Cercidiphyllum japonicum (Katsura).
It was really a lovely day today.

We went to see cherry blossoms at Tama Forest Science Garden in Takao.
They have lots of kinds of cherry blossoms and it is hard to choose which one to show on this website. Here is some extract of the hundreds of pictures I took today.
