Waning Gibbous Moon and Winter Cherry 冬桜と下弦の月

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are the blossoms of winter cherry trees at 6 a.m. today with the Moon in the background. As they're "winter" cherry trees, you can enjoy their blossoms throughout the year except summer, and I see the baby pink blossoms every early morning these days while walking in the area without paying much attention to them. So, if I hadn't seen this chubby waning gibbous Moon in the blue gray sky through the tree twigs (i.e., the blurred white thing in the photos), I would have passed by them as usual.

The academic name of the cherry tree is cerasus subhirtella (miq.). If you live in Japan or have a chance to come to Japan, you can enjoy such pretty cherry blossoms in Ginza Tokyo, too.

冬桜です。最近いつも見ている光景なのですが、今朝は太っちょ♬の下弦の月が桜の枝の間から見え、思わずパシャパシャしてしまいました。この桜は近所ですが、銀座にもあります（銀座1丁目の交番の辺り）。行かれた際は是非見てみてください。
