This cherry tree blossomed quite early in Tokyo, just before the late snow we had at the beginning of the week.
Elegance
Young Japanese women on her way to her graduation ceremony in Shinjuku. This Macro lens is also great for non-macro subjects and reminds me of my beloved EF 135mm…

The hyacinths from last year just bloomed in my tiny Japanese garden ! How lovely.

Tan Tan Men
Macro views of some delicious Tantanmen noodles. And then some Fujikake on rice.
Mighty SpaceShip
Repurposed princess castle, Minnie Mouse cake shop and a few other things into an awesome spaceship. Look at the amount of serious engineering that went into that beauty!
Lens Flare
When the sun hits the glass of the lens directly, colors are subdued, contrasts drops and flares appear. The resulting atmosphere just looks nice for some subjects, like this temple I think.
Winter Socks
I wonder what these are for? To protect against cold, or some kind of animal as the upper part suggests, or maybe both?
