Too Early

As spring got closer and closer, our little family was really looking forward to having outings to the park, walks in the sunshine, and general silliness that comes with warmer weather and a long winter stuck inside.  Spring in Japan brings with it many beautiful flowers and comfortable temperatures before the brutal humidity of summer.  So, even though it was a little early, Hubby and I decided to take Tigger to see the cherry blossoms... though, perhaps it wasn't really time yet.  So, off to Miyama Park in Tamano City, Okayama we went!

There were ducks!

And a swan...

And more ducks.

Even a wild boar came out to play!  Wow!

Mom!!!  What's that??

Peek-a-boo!  I'm a boar!

There were a few cherry blossoms... we were about a week early.

It'll be beautiful then with the little shops making delicious smells!

But too early doesn't mean we can't still play!

So back home we went, looking forward to the next weekend for a view of the cherry blossoms!
