Cherry Blossoms At The Meguro River In Tokyo
For the last week or so my brother has been in town, and during that time we went and visited a number of places around Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms. If you follow me on Instagram in particular, you’ve probably seen a few of the images I’ve been sharing.

Floating Cherry Blossom Petals
This Spring toward the end of cherry blossom season my family was out to pick up some dinner, and as we took a shortcut through a local shrine I saw these petals floating in a little basin that had filled with water.

This park is actually on the outskirts of Tokyo, and not too far from my home. I had gone by bike to check it out for a future photo shoot...
