Day 2: It's Ain't A Grey Day at Ueno Park :)

This is our second Hanami and we were very blessed to experience full blossoms on both occasions. :) The sky seems to be clearing a little & we made our way to Ueno Park.

The rain didn't dampen the hanami's spirit. Folks were dancing in jubilant at Ueno Park. :)

Potted plants for sale. Take your fancy. :)

They aren't expensive. :)

I love hellebores & would love to bring them home. :)

These pink beauties come in pots too. :)

Ueno Park has more than 1,000 cherry blossom trees and they are in full bloom. :D 

Family selfie time. :) While I like the candidness of selfie pics, I would like to have proper family pics too. I wonder if we should bring along a tripod stand next time...

We remembered this shrine. The one and only pink cherry blossom tree is just behind it. :)))

Beanie & Lin couldn't understand why I spent so much time taking pics of the same stuff. Hm....they are different ok! :))) 

I hope I didn't bore you with these pink cherry blossoms! :)))

The aroma of street food. :) A rare occasion Lin would say yes to us eating them. :)))

Chunky sugar coated sweet potato fries. :) 

Shinobazu pond looking pretty with cherry blossom trees dotted around it. :)

Feel free to join them. :))) Rent a ducky boat and cruise along. :)

Doggy's day out. :) If only our Koka would sit obediently in our basket.

Little sparrows are out to play! :D

Early risers get to eat! :D

This was our initial plan for the morning. Isn't it awesome to feast under these pretty blooms? :)

Ueno Park, you have blossomed wonderfully, brightening an otherwise grey & rainy day. See you next time. :)
