（在千鳥ヶ淵賞花）

已經不是第一次在日本賞櫻了，塔嘻與艾迪幾年賞下來的心得是，選擇一個還不錯的地方，去看過一次就夠了（其實楓葉也是一樣的結論XD）。2011年春天賞花我們選擇了「千鳥ヶ淵」，也就是位於東京皇居西北方的護城河。

As having been in Japan to do flower viewing for several times, Tarcy and Eddie have come out a conclusion – pick a nice place and just one, then go – that’s it (actually the same conclusion goes for red leaf viewing as well). In 2011 we went to a famous spot called Chidori-ga-fuchi, which is a moat located near the west-north side of Tokyo Imperial Palace.

因為震災而中止夜間點燈賞花的活動：

Events such as lighting up the flowers and festivals have been suspended due to the disaster of earthquake and tsunami:

乍看之下還看不出來是櫻花呢：

With a sudden glance Eddie can’t really tell that’s cherry blossoms:

河面上已經累積了不少掉下的櫻花瓣了：

Certain amount of petals have felt down and aggregated on the side of moat:

這角度有點像京都國立博物館那一帶的感覺：

This angle looked like the area of Kyoto National Museum:

不小心拍成好像在海邊：

Somehow this view seemed to be near the sea:

白色的櫻花看太多了，這些小黃花就變得相當搶眼：

After seeing too much white Sakura, these yellow little flowers became very attracting:

倒影裡的天空比較藍：

還是配一點其他顏色比較不會看膩：

With more different colors the view would be better:

櫻花快把天空給遮蓋起來了：

The sky was almost covered by the cherry blossoms:
