Beautiful Blossoms


Everyone knows that Japan has a beautiful spring, and that the cherry blossoms are something everyone should see if they are able. Since I haven't been able to get off base yet, I am grateful that there are cherry trees all over base! The trees are currently in full bloom, but the weather isn't that great, and Ashlyn and I are still trying to shake the last of this virus. I'm hoping that the weather will clear up and so will our noses and we can make it out with my 'real' camera. Until then, I thought I would share some of the pictures I was able to capture with my awesome iPhone 4 (I LOVE the camera on this thing!)
Just walking to the exchange is a beautiful walk, as all the streets are lined with trees. I had to make a trip out this morning, and it was well worth it, even though it was a bit wet. Nothing a true Wash-a-tonian can't handle!
I am not really sure what type of flower this is but it grows on a tree that is only about 12 feet tall. I don't think it's a Rose Tree, but it is lovely regardless. Anyone know??

    I'm pretty sure those are Camellias.

    We used to have a bush/tree in front of our house. It was one of my favorite flowers.

    Thank you Leah!! I think I want one of these on our property after we retire, along with a magnolia tree and a flowering dogwood.
