I might be missing the birds back home but I have to say the flora around the campus precinct is quite stunning. And OK, tulips may not be native to Japan but that have become a significant reminder of spring for quite some time here now.
The parklands have featured arrangements of tulips for the last few weeks now, peaking a couple of weekends ago for the tulip festival. They are reaching their end point now and I expect they will be pulled from the grounds fairly soon.
So what does a person with a camera and a penchant for wrinkled petals do?
This, of course...

Roses, tulips, lilies. Whatever the flower, I think there is just as much grace and beauty as it turns as when the flower is in full bloom. But perhaps it is just an age thing.
