Sakura

Posted on by Hijiri

Have you been enjoying the Spring?! :) LOVE my walk with Maia everyday, I am finding lots of changes in nature and flowers blooming everywhere. It is always so inspiring.

These photos of Sakura are from Central Park. These are the kinds that I grew up with in Japan, but I see few different kinds of cherry blossoms here in NY… they are all so pretty, I wish it never goes away!

It has been such a busy week for me, I have to run around all day today so I am leaving you with these pretty photos and smiles :) Happy Friday, everyone! See you on Monday.

The New York Palace

I passed by the New York Palace hotel the other day and couldn’t help but notice not only the gorgeous and stunning building, but also its gate, its swirly designs — isn’t it pretty?

Inspiration is everywhere, I love it :)

Cozy Trees

Posted on by Hijiri

There is a tree in my neighborhood that looks really cozy… because it is wearing a pretty red sweater :) It makes me smile every time I pass by. Sharing these photos so it makes you smile, too :)

It’s been another busy week… I hope you are hanging in there, too… :)

UPDATES: I found another one wearing a yellow sweater right next to this tree!

Do you see them together?

First Day of Spring

Posted on by Hijiri

Beginning of this week is not so springy with rain and grey sky, but the past few days have been so gorgeous that we went to Prospect park everyday on the weekend just to enjoy the sun and the spring — everyone was thinking exactly the same, the park was packed and everyone was having a blast!

It was 70-something degrees, I was just wearing tee-shirts, but all the trees are still brown with no leaves and it looked weird — I saw little buds coming out, though!

The dog beach was finally open — saw many dogs around and a few were actually swimming and having fun! Made me smile :)

Maia enjoying her first back rubs…

and I found some flowers! Everywhere else was all brown, but these little lives found their way to bloom — so inspiring.

On Sunday, there was an Irish parade on Prospect Park West (I think it’s for belated St. Patrick’s Day ceremony, too) — it was another gorgeous day and their spirit and everyone’s vibe were so nice.

Love these costumes!

Happy Spring to all of you :) xo Hijiri
