Plum blossoms in Maizuru Park

I love the plum blossoms in Maizuru Park.

 

Although they weren't in full bloom there were still some nice flowers on some of the trees. 

There were some meijiro, a Japanese bird which is often associated with plum blossoms flitting about the trees but they flew away every time I tried to get close to them so I only managed this very distant photo of one of them.
