This photo captures what I felt was the moment a Japanese white-eye took flight at Kiba Park.

This photograph captures the moment a Japanese white-eye is about to take flight. At Kiba Park, when the early-blooming cherry trees begin to flower, heralding the first signs of spring, Japanese white-eyes gather in search of nectar. The beautiful contrast between the pale pink cherry blossoms and the vivid green of the white-eyes creates a scene that signals the arrival of spring.
