wee blossoms

SATURDAY-WAITING FOR SPRING IN SHINJUKU GYOEN
The cherry trees in Tokyo were forecast to be in bloom from a couple days ago, but only a few wee blossoms yet and in fact it looks like it's about to rain... The park is full of people though, and it looks like all of Tokyo has come to sit and wait for spring. But I have no trouble finding Yuri and Chikako's party because everyone has followed their instructions and worn GREEN. As a welcome drink, purpleman and I are each given a shot of GREEN jello, which turns out to be vodka jello with nata de coco! Genius!
