A Springtime Stroll Around Ye Olde Academy
I decided to take a little walk...and photo shoot...around part of the campus before going home after work today. I'd like to share it with you!
The cherry blossoms are already falling off the trees, leaving a pink and white dusting on the ground.
People who have nothing to do with the school often come and hang out on this hill during cherry blossom season.
I don't know the story of the ring of pink around this particular tree, but it does catch the eye.
The walkway toward the junior high building is flanked and dusted with springtime color.
A nearby plum tree makes its statement in a magenta dialect.
Hold still, dammit!
Let me share our colorful campus life with you!
Looking from the junior high building toward the north gate and parking area.
Under a canopy of pink and white...
Heading back toward the administrative building...
The stairway down to the staff parking lot is dusted with fallen petals.
Time to go home! (Sorry...my BLUE RAV4 was too dirty to photograph just now.)
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Blossoms falling here
Falling like snow in winter
Leaves are soon to sprout

I love the cherry blossoms photos. So pretty! We don't get to see that in Mauritius. Thanks for sharing =)

Tip Toe Through the TwoLips
Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Beautiful campus. Thanks for sharing the other flowers as well as the sakura.
I like watching the sakura fubuki fluttering down.

Even though it's been only about a month since I graduated from high schol, these pictures remind me of high school days a lot and make me sigh ...

Nice haiku, m'lady! It needs koto or shamisen background music.

Long time no see! No, I don't imagine sakura would do very well in the tropics, but I'm sure people where I live would still find plenty to envy you for!
Dave
Somehow Tiny Tim and Japanese koto music (which is what sakura always conjure up in my mind) just DON'T go together...

I almost completely forgot it was Easter. It's what I get for living in a Shinto/Buddhist country. Even Costco didn't have Easter egg dye (and I didn't go to Carrefour, which might have).

Our school is definitely fortunate to have such a scenic campus. Students do tend to take it for granted, though.

I have to keep finding new ways to keep all of you coming back, right? ;-)

I think most people never really appreciate their school days until they're over and gone. By then it's too late (though as a music club OB, you'll still have reasons to come back once in a while!).

Revisionist! Oh wait, wrong post.
Botanist!
Those are beautiful. I am instinctively reaching for a Claritin, but it is gorgeous.

SnabudonThe biggest source of sneezes is those sugi (called Japanese "cedar" though it's related to the redwood) trees that ring the staff parking lot (the whole campus, actually!). Every year I basically live on antihistamines from March till May, though I seem to be getting over it already.
RobinThanks for stopping by!
My car wouldn't have done any favors to the ambience...
SelbaI'm happy to be able to share them! The springtime views are definitely one of the fringe benefits of working here!

All are in Pink & White, lack of something in "Blue" there, isn't it?
Have you noticed that purple flower looked a bit erri? It seems suspended in the air.;-p
