In this photo, the scarlet cherry tree in the foreground is slightly blurred and the white-eye in the background is in focus to bring out the subject. The effect of the blur in the foreground gives a sense of depth. White-eyes can be seen flying to the scarlet cherry blossoms at Ebara Shrine as they bloom and suck the nectar. The contrast between the pink flowers and the white-eyes is beautiful and becomes part of the spring-like scenery of the shrine grounds. There is also a statue of Ebisu-sama, which is worshipped by people who wish for good fortune.
