Yasaka Shrine

The flower of spring (double-flowered cherry tree?) was in full bloom in Yasaka Shrine of Gion.

I saw several tourists taking pictures under the tree, though the number of tourists in Kyoto decreased remarkably due to the earthquake of March 11th.

There was a Mejiro (white-eye) bird on the branch.

Green tea colored Mejiro bird and pink cherry flowers on a blue sky background... How picturesque!
