Silky white petals
Unfolded from the darkness
Say hello to you

Lee and Roger invite you to join them on an early spring walk in the Seattle Arboretum Japanese Garden. Lee’s camera brings the bright blooms and greens of April to life. They are a welcome reward of pleasant weather after several rainy days!
Swaying leaves on trees,
warmer air, blooming flowers,
spring’s finally here.

Green . . .green . . . .. green . . .
Willow-leaf threads are sliding
River-running – water

Rainfall in April . . .
Tears from our weeping willow …
Petals from our plum

For deliciousness
Try fording the rivulet . . .
Sandals in one hand

The Lageschultes are so glad that you have enjoyed the early spring scenes at the Japanese garden! They hope you are inspired to experience this in person.
The spring haze
The scent already in the air
The moon and ume.

*In Japanese, “Ume” translates to “plum blossom”. The plum blossom (Ume) is a traditional symbol of the arrival of spring and a reminder of the cyclical nature of life.
