I've been busy lately, so there hasn't been much time to take photos or post. Anyway, the family did make it out to Hibiya Park last weekend. There was one particular Ginkgo (イチョウ) that caught my eye and some maples that were nice too.
This beautiful Ginkgo was in the Children's playground.
These maples were located in one of the Japanese gardens.
