Infiorata in Kobe

Do not be deceived by that lovely blue sky, it has not been the warmest of days to be at a flower festival. But the tulips were beautiful, even if some had blown away by the end of the day.

An annual event at this time of year that started in 1997 as part of the city’s attempt to decorate the city after the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. Sponsored by local shops and businesses it is a real community event.

A HUGE thank you from the woofer and I for all the lovely hearts and stars on yesterday’s blip. He hit the popular page... :) You are all wonderful!
