In this photograph, I photographed plum blossoms just beginning to bloom, paying close attention to the delicate texture of the petals. The Jindai Botanical Garden in Chofu City, Tokyo, is a beautiful garden filled with flowers of all four seasons, and is a charming place with a different look each time you visit. In spring, the plum garden and cherry blossoms are gorgeously decorated, with someiyoshino cherry trees and weeping cherry trees in full bloom swaying in the wind like a painting. In late spring, the rose garden is filled with the elegant fragrance of roses, and the delicate petals of the roses sparkle with the morning dew. In summer, the rain-soaked Japanese honeysuckles and hydrangeas create a moist atmosphere, while the deep greenery under the shade of the trees creates a cool ambience. In autumn, maple and ginkgo trees turn into autumn colors, and the red and yellow leaves reflected on the surface of the water create a fantastic scene. In winter, camellias and plum trees quietly bloom in the dignified air, and snow-covered flowers give a sense of warmth in the cold.
