Hanami 2011


Despite all of the craziness with heart-stopping earthquakes, giant tsunamis, seemingly never-ending aftershocks, and nuclear power plants blowing up expelling radiation everywhere, i still found time to do a little hanami. i know it was "cancelled" this year, but you can't very well stop flowers from blooming and i found that many people decided to join in the fun as well.




broke grandpa out of his hospital to do a little hanami as well. he seemed to enjoy himself for about 30 mins before he'd had enough and wanted to get going.



in Oji with Rob and Niel. the blooms were finishing up and the stream had been stopped but it was still a great day to be out:

Hey there sister of Riyoko! I met you back when she and I were in grad school together at USC, but lost touch with her after I joined the Navy. I know her birthday is coming up, so if you could pass along a hello for me, I'd appreciate it! Thanks! Stephanie
