At the Ogose Plum Grove, a photograph capturing the feeling of "plum blossom petals beautiful with translucent light."

This photograph was taken by letting the sun's rays pass through the plum petals from the backside of the flower to capture the way the light passes through the flower. I tried to make the delicate texture of the petals stand out. The Echigo Plum Grove is known as one of the best plum blossom viewing spots in the Kanto region, with approximately 1,000 plum trees in full bloom in spring. The scenery of white and red plum trees is picturesque no matter where you cut it off, especially on sunny days when the contrast with the blue sky is beautiful, making it ideal for photography. The park also has many old plum trees, and the elegant scenery created by the stately plum trees is one of the attractions of the park. Walking along the paths with petals shining in the sunlight and the scent of plum blossoms in the air, take a picture of the coming of spring!
