Cherry Blossoms near Teikyo University / 帝京大学の近くの桜

Okay, the first few pics are cherry blossoms near my neighborhood.

最初の4枚の写真はうちの近所です。










This year, my wife's nephew became a university student and we went to help him move into his new pad.  So, the next few cherry blossom photos were taken near his neighborhood.

今年、嫁の甥っ子が大学入学しまて、一人暮らしが始まる為にいろいろ手伝ってあげました。ちょうどう桜の季節だったので、次の写真はほぼ帝京大学の近くで撮ったもの。


To get to Teikyo University, we had to take a train to Tachikawa, and then transfer to this monorail.

帝京大学行きは立川まで行って、そこからモノレールに乗り換え。

The monorail station at Teikyo University looks like a train.

This looks like a weeping cherry blossom / しだれ桜かな?



Cherry blossoms they are not / これは桜ではない








Came across this statue in a park along the river / この像も川沿いで発見



Yep, we got the college boy settled in (actually, he got himself settled in).

甥っ子は新しい人生に出発!
