Spring: not yet sprung

Two years ago, we were in Tokyo -- and foolishly decided to head to Ueno Park on Sunday to see the cherry blossom. Foolish because hundreds of thousands of Tokyo residents had the same idea; it was mayhem! However, we did get to take some snaps of the trees in full flower.



Two years on, and the bright, icy weather we've been enjoying since we returned from San Francisco ended at lunchtime today -- to be replaced by glowering grey skies and heavy drizzle. As yet, the trees have no buds on them, let alone flowers. Spring is officially late.
