February is the month when we enjoy viewing blossoms of Japanese apricots. Unlike cherry blossom viewing, which we can enjoy only for about a week, the time of Japanese apricots blooming differs from kind to kind. The day before yesterday, I went to take pictures of light pink Japanese apricots which were in full bloom in Sakamoto Town. While photographing, white-eyes came for nectar of the blossoms. They were so cute that I shot them automatically and continuously with my 500mm-super-telephoto lens. But it was difficult to focus on the eyes of the while-eyes which moves restlessly from blossom to blossom.
You captured the eyes beautifully in these two photos! This is awesome work, Kenkichi! The color and focus are extraordinary!
