I went to Ueno Park to look for cherry blossoms but I was too early. There were only one or two plum trees with flowers so far. So instead I walked through the Ueno Zoo and, as usual in the afternoon, most of the animals were hiding or asleep. It was still fun to watch all the little kids running around in their cute uniforms. They were just happy to be outside in the sun. And so was I.
Entrance to the zooCute uniforms : ) There were so many school kids on field trips to the zoo today. I had just as much fun watching them as I did watching the animals.Sumatran Tiger making eye contact. These huge cats are so beautiful. Surprisingly, this big guy was one of the only animals awake in the afternoon. Not very cat-like.Kids in uniforms watching the elephants. Each group of kids wears a different hat so they can find each other and their guardians don’t lose them. Smart.Blue Poison Dart Frog
