To America

I went back to the Southwest this spring. A quick drive outside of Denver is Red Rocks.



After Colorado I went to Arizona. I love the desert.



Outside of Phoenix is the stunning Bryce Thompson Arboretum.



I met some cutie pies on the trail.





The flora and fauna were just gorgeous.





Heeeey, Macarena.





Giant eucalyptus trees.



Teeny tiny pineapples.

Tucson was my favorite.



I got to see a friend from Tokyo who happened to be there (thanks Facebook!), and met Joe Odagiri's look-alike.

After that, off to Seattle and the great country of Canada!

UW Quad

This is where I learned me some edumacation.

我が母校ワシントン大学の満開桜

Cherry blossoms @ UW

I was afraid I would miss the sakura altogether this year. No need to have worried!
