Cherry blossoms and some bees at the Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden is a great place for practicing your photography skills. There are plenty “good stuff” there. I practiced a little bit, with some cherry blossoms and their little neighbours: The bees. I went two times to the japanese garden, so I wasn’t going to miss the chance of taking some photos with my camera. Even though my laptop still doesn’t work, I was able to download some photos (you can’t imagine how happy I am).
It’s the largest Japanese-style garden outside the Japan. Walking surrounded by bonsai, azaleas, kokedamas, orchids and cement lanterns is an unforgettable pleasure. It also has a Chashitsu (Tea House): a space specially built to carry out the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Ornamented with traditional elements (whose interior was imported from Japan), some of its components date back more than one hundred years. Its exquisite interior is handcrafted. An art room and a restaurant complete the visit.

As I said, it's such a great place to practice your photography skills, the different intensity of light you get, the flowers, the lake, everything is so ideal. But something caught my eye: the bees getting polem in the cherry blossoms. I'm SO allergic to bees that this felt like swimming with sharks. I mean.. Getting bitten by a bee isn't a good plan, but I couldn't resist. What's the "extreme" part full of adrenalin? I don't own a macro len, just a 18-55mm so try to guess how close I was.

It might sound ridiculous, being afraid of bees.. But come on, I'm such a baby for physical pain plus being allergic and still not having a health insurance in a foreign country? No thanks. It was quite an extreme experience for me. Luckily, I came out without any harm, I guess it's true that bees doesn't sting you if you don't mess with them.
I got some photos out of the SD card of my camera, so with some patience I have some good photos to show, goes from my trip to La Plata to the National Arts Museum. So.. You'll be reading me around. Until the next one!
Photos are made by me, unless I indicate otherwise.
Camera: Nikon D40
Lens: AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm
Location: Palermo, Buenos Aires.
Countries that respect nature are well to do and are mainly peaceful, and Japan is a good example. Always good to get close to nature to learn and be at peace.
This isn't in Japan, it's in Argentina. Pretty amazing huh? It still has that peaceful environment that is needed.
Beautiful photography ...!
I’m also afraid of bees too as I’ve gotten stung before, but I would get that shot quickly and go.

Great post! And the photos are simply amazing. Congratulations!
nice colors, and the reflections of the sun in some pictures is awesome.
I'm very allergic to wasps so I understand how the sight of those little creatures can make your heart pound. Great pictures!
Thank you so much! Oh yes, it's such an adrenalin rush.
Wow I love cherryblossoms and you captured them nicely and delicately!
