The first shot shows a nice bowl of Morel Mushrooms we found on April 1st at ICU (International Christian University), which is only a 10 minute walk from our house. The 2nd photo is a beautiful Cherry Tree in full bloom in Nogawa Park on April 3rd. The 3rd shot is a Trigonotis peduncularis, a very tiny flower.

The first shot shows a bunch of Cherry Trees along Nogawa Creek. The 2nd shot is a Gentiana zollingeri flower, such beautiful little blue flowers! The 3rd shot is a fern in the "fiddlehead" stage taken at Hikage Creek on April 5th. It was a dark and rainy day, so had to use the flash.

The first 2 images are Viola bissetii, again - had to use the flash. The 3rd image is a Hikage (or Takao) Violet (Viola yezoensis). If you look closely you can also see the leaves in each of these shots.

The first shot is another Takao Violet, the 2nd shot is a Viola grypoceras and the 3rd shot is a species of Anemone. All three of these shots are still taken along Hikage Creek.

The first shot is an Anemone flower - sometimes we see these mutated forms, greenish in color. They are rare enough so that we always take pictures of them when we see them. The 2nd shot is a blue form of Omphalodes japonica and the 3rd shot shows both the blue form and the pink form of Omphalodes japonica.
