Sakura update

Of course the day I'm not traveling is absolutely gorgeous outside!  I even have my window open!

I went to the pond for a sakura update.  They are starting to pop!

I was making a beeline for the tree that I thought was furthest along, and almost walked right past the one that IS the furthest along!

 

Here is what the tree I expected to be doing the best looked like.

While there, I took some duck pictures.  The internet tells me that they are Eurasian wigeons.

Also, some bamboo grows there.
