On a gorgeous, Sunday morning we headed over to Ueno Park for the first time in two and half years. It was still early so few of the duck paddle boats were in the middle of the pond yet. We found out a couple hours later that we should have arrived even earlier as the number of people in Ueno Park on a Sunday afternoon becomes rather insane.

Shinobazu Pond was ripe with giant lotus. It turns out this pond is natural and looks very different depending on the season. I had never seen it like this before.
