Weekend rec ride
Mt. Fuji view point, clouds hid her today too.
Mmm...
Kawazu sakura
An early blooming
sakura.
This
sakura blooms from February, as early as
ume, Japanese apricot.
It was found at Kawazu town in Shizuoka prefecture, in 1955.
It was crossed naturally with
Ooshima-sakura and
Kanhi-sakura.
Popular recently, and many are planted.
I've looking for some and found one at last!
With a super cool kid's bike.
Close shot
Tokuonji temple, founded in 1019
I posted pics last year.
The road in front of the temple is slightly down grade, and too fast and good to stop to take pics.
But the weather was good, and the temple was too beautiful to pass by today.
Hondo, the main building, rebuilt in 2022.
Shiraki, unpainted or unfinished wood, is beautiful and will age beautifully.
Shinnyodo(shin-nyo-do) built in 1995.
It is a multi-purpose hall.
The wood is painted.
Beautiful weather,
sakura, and temple.
It was very good cycling again!
