Litratong Pinoy: Bulaklak

Ang tagsibol ay palagi kong inaabangan dahil makikita kong muli ang kagandahan nang Sakura (Cherry Blossoms). Pero bago pa man namumulaklak ang Sakura ay nauuna ang Plum (Ume) Blossoms. Ang mga bulaklak na ito ay makikita mo sa Plum Orchard sa Osaka Castle.
Spring is on the things I look forward to because I get to see Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) once again. But before the Sakura appears, we get to see Plum (Ume) Blossoms. The flowers below could be seen at the Plum Orchard in Osaka Castle grounds.

Ang lahat nang mga nasa itaas ay larawan nang Ume (plum) blossoms. Pero hindi ko pa rin matukoy ang pagkakaiba nila nang Sakura (cherry blossoms). Pareho naman kasi silang magaganda.
The photos above are those of the plum blossoms. I still can't point any difference between the plum and cherry blossoms. Both are so beautiful!

Osaka Castle Park: Peach Orchard

The Peach Orchard at the Osaka Castle Park has been colorful for quite sometime now. I don't want to miss the peach blossoms so I went out for a walk at lunch break. The sun was glaring hot, and I might have been bitten by an insect, but I had fun with my cellphone camera. For the first time, I used its macro mode and I'm really satisfied with the results. (Thanks to Meemax for telling me about it.)

The Peach blossoms may not be as pretty as the Cherry blossoms, but they are as mesmerizing.

Here are some photos that I took. They're not yet in full bloom and I hope I could go back there to take more photos.
