Sakura is here!

Today started out a little overcast, but the haze burned off by mid-day for a picture perfect afternoon in Yoyogi Koen. The crowds were out picnicking in force, and the sakura was practically in full bloom. On the park's west side, this spectacular cherry tree near the bicycle center was overlooked by many. My family decided that we may return on a less crowded weekday to enjoy a lazy afternoon under this tree.

Nikon D600 with Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-Sf5.6, ISO 100, 1/100 sec.

By the way, isn't it amazing the great job (sharp and contrasty) a humble little 50-mm lens can do. I've really got to shoot with this lens more!
