This tour was advertised as a cherry blossom boat tour but the blossoms are late in arriving so it was just a boat tour. We did tour a different stretch of river than we did last week. Lots of fun and always entertaining being on the water.
A very nice living wall
Rock stacking art
Love these pine trees
Not Waldo, a different character altogether
Something to crow about
The boat was short since the bridges are so low
We were right at the water level
Our first cherry blossoms of the season
We cruised along the castle walls for a while and passed this tunnel
The Castle!
Drainage?
Rare graffiti
A great Blue Heron
A paddle wheeler!
The wheel was ornamental
A practice run for water rescue
Lots of gear
The firetruck was needed to haul all the gear
Seagulls
A ski boat
Either a chemical company or a fancy bar
Supersized life preservers for this couple

Cherry blossoms adorn this excursion boat
Some more stacked rocks
Picnic time
We went along the castle walls and then out into a different river along a classic section of cherry trees
A flying saucer?

We came upon a flutist and a piano player
It is a full blown wedding!
A small but elegant ceremony
Birds in the trees
Gumball tree
A patch of blooms!
Rocks are the theme for today's art

A shrub beast
Where else but Japan would you find comfy velvet subway seats?
