梅花 from the Kairakuen Garden in Mito, Ibaraki

A couple weeks ago I went to Kairakuen Garden, which is considered one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, to see the ume (plum) blossoms. It was really nice there and the garden was filled with the scent of ume blossoms. It was such a sweet fragrant, I loved it.

I got there later than I expected, but was still able to enjoy the festival, saw a monkey show, ate yummy YUMMY festival food, saw tons of ume trees when the sun was still out and then watched the sun set at the garden.
