NJMatsuya Photography

Yes, it's an odd title, but it aptly describes the circumstances during which I took the picture, so that's ok (^^)

I had gone with M to Ome yesterday – he's visiting Japan, and had a series of places he wanted to check out (I swear, even though he's just visiting, he knows more places to go than I do!), one of which was the plum (Ume) tree park in Ome.

It's a bit of a trip to get to Ome, almost 1.5hrs by train one way, so it was more than slightly disappointing to finally arrive there and find out that none of the trees were in bloom yet! There were a couple of trees here and there with some blossoms but nothing really alive yet.

Luckily S msg'd me with the suggestion to check out Mitake (??) which happened to be only 20 minutes away from Ome, so we headed there to see what was in the area. There were no trees/blossoms, but there was a cool river/stream that was fun to explore. I got the chance to try a few long exposures, we hiked a bit – overall a very pleasant day 🙂

With this, I've finally caught up on posting all the photos I took between my business trip till yesterday, phew! I'm also done with my office work for today, so I do get my Sunday afternoon off – I'm out of here! (^^)
