Ume blossoms

We enjoy the four seasons very much. In Japan, we feel the coming of spring by the signs of blooming of blossoms. The first blossoms are "ume" (Japanese plum) blossoms followed by "momo" (Japanese peach) and "sakura" (Japanese cherry).
Today we joged around Sendagaya to check the ume blooming status. Jogging course was starting from the National Stadium - Hatomori Shrine - Shinjuku Gyoen Palace Garden - Sendagaya Noh-gakudo (Stage for the Japanese lyrical "Noh" drama) and back to the National Stadium.
Ume trees were almost coaxed into showing signs of blooming.
Maybe next week-end will be at their peak.
