I passed this tree on the way to work and had to take some pictures. I remember how amazed and excited I was last year when I first saw this tree blooming.

plum blossoms
It's a little early this year, but the blossoms are coming. The Plum is Kanazawa's symbol, since it was the family crest of the Maeda family, who controlled the city during the shogunate. There is one plum tree in particular that acts as a gauge as to when the much anticipated, cherry blossom season will start.

How can Global Warming be bad when it makes such beautiful blossoms?
Yeah, but on the other hand, there's a massive beach cars can drive on near here, that has shrunk from a 6-lane highway to a small country road.
The word is sinking dear anonymous.
