This has been a long and cold winter! But now the spring has come, and the city of Buffalo is really beautiful. The biggest surprise was

The Japanese Garden

It was hard to notice during fall and winter that it actually had so many

Sakura trees

This blooming sakura reminds one of Japan, so that my wife and I immediately became nostalgic. It also looks very nice with the background of the

Historical Museum

and of the

Buffalo State College

The new green is so bright and the streets are all of a sudden so full of blooming trees that it is impossible to believe that winter ever was here at all!
