On a beautiful day in early April, I went out to enjoy cherry blossoms on Sakura Street in the center of Fukui City. The street was, as the name indicates, lined with beautiful cherry blossoms that were celebrating spring. I was overwhelmed by the impressive sight, and took hundreds of pictures while strolling along the street. Satisfied with the day's walk, I was heading back to my car when I noticed a striking color which was different from the pale pink of cherry blossoms. It was a pale yellow daffodil silently blooming in the corner of the street. When I looked around, there were other colors too, pink of camellia, pure white of magnolia, etc. Cherry blossoms were not the only flowers cerebrating spring. Other flowers were also blooming on the same street!
