Today Yoko and I decided to go and check out the flowers at Shinjuku Gyoen (新宿御苑). Hanami has come a bit early in 2013, and it looked like it has already passed its peak in the park. Although it was not too crowded, it was not really the best day for wandering around and taking photos as the weather was both overcast and bright. I did get a few nice shots of some of the flowers in the park. I hope that you can enjoy them!
I often prepare my own desktop wallpaper for use on my Retina MacBook Pro as I love the way my photos look on the high-res display. Some of the images I often use are family related and are not really for distribution, but I do have a lot of neutral ones that are fine for the public.
If you have a few moments, please feel free to browse the images below and use any of them for your desktop wallpaper!
If you click on an image it will open the gallery in your browser. You can select “View full size” below the photo you would like to use as wallpaper to open it at full size in a new window. After the image loads, right-click and download the wallpaper. As they are quite large (3200×2000 pixels) they might take a few seconds to load on slower connections.
I have always loved animals of all kinds, and have also felt a bit saddened by seeing animals caged, regardless of how well treated and how important it can be to raise support for animal awareness. Conversely, I am always happy to see creatures that I would otherwise have little or no opportunity to see with my own eyes. Please enjoy some of the photos I took at the Ueno Zoo, the Sunshine Aquarium and the Natural History Museum in Tokyo.
