Brooklyn Botanical Garden

I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden yesterday because I knew it was going to be a nice day… I didn’t realize it’d be in 82 degrees, though! It was so hot! (but really nice :)) Just wanted to post some photos from my visit. I could not wait any longer for Spring to come and so seeing flowers blooming was such a treat!

oh. but most of the garden was still like winter. Below is the big cherry blossom area — all the trees were still naked. (NYC street trees are still naked, too.) It was so weird to see the trees like this when it was so hot! I’m sure it’s going to bloom so fast after a day like yesterday. Apparently, today’s going to be another hot day, we are going to the Prospect park for a playdate :) Have a great day, everyone! xo Hijiri

Cherry Blossom Festival

This past Sunday, I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Now I think about it, we were right in the middle of moving last year, I couldn’t go… so it’s been 2 years since I went there last! Oh, it was so pretty as you can see :)

and this gorgeous cherry blossom trees are from Prospect Park at Flatbush Avenue and Eastern Parkway entrance. It was like a pink cave inside :)

Everything is turning green now, summer is next!
