Beppu Today, 2013 Feb 22nd, Japanese apricot in Minami Tateishi Park

At the end of January, I visited Beppu park and found only one apricot flower.  
Today, I visited Minami Tateishi. The apricot flowers are blooming.
Spring is around the corner.

The bird is Japanese White-eye that is a prefectural bird of Oita.
