As a fellow Mizuki Type 2 owner (Karasu, my first ever Shinki), I am really looking forward to going through these.

What can be more spring-like than blooming sakura in a Japanese garden?

Such wonderful photos and colours. I adore your posts!!

Beautiful pics of the sakura.

Beautiful...I envy those of you who can take outdoor pics, both for your skill and for the fact that if I tried to out in this redneck burg, I'd probably be either lynched or arrested (j/k). These are stunning.

Bright and nice day
So, seeing the datestamp, seems like they starts blooming slower than the flowers in Tokyo ?

Happy you're still enjoying the updates :3 Will make sure to keep them going!

Yes, and the previous year's blooming was actually waaay earlier than usual. When I went to Japan 2 years ago, I got the blooming in Tokyo, blooming in Kyoto, and then once more - blooming in Moscow when I got back

More beautiful pics, thank you...Mizuki Type 2 is uniquely suited to outdoor shoots, isn't she? Her colors are a striking series of contrasts that allow her to stand out among most landscapes, her modest design doesn't raise too many eyebrows, and her low part count makes her extremely portable, even when geared up. I might be underestimating my own ability to get some outdoor shots...thank you for the inspiration!

She has the least amount of unnatural colours - black, white, and only an accent of pink. That makes her good for taking nature pictures as there's not much non-matching color scheme contrast that way. Still, her white is way too of a blue tint for many real objects.
