Sakura Flower_Stanley's Photo Gallery

Stanley's photo gallery collection: Sakura Flower.

"Sakura", in English is equivalent to the Japanese Flowering Cherry. A cherry blossom is the name for the flower of cherry trees known as Sakura.

This picture is not taken at Japan, but Indonesia. I took this picture last year, 2009, at my office as this flower grows here.

Additionally, there is a song titled Bunga Sakura (Sakura Flower) in Indonesian language, indicated that this flower is well known here. As long as I know, this song is originally in Keroncong rythm.

Belalang. Walang Wadung? In my village, Ambarawa, Central Java-Indonesia, people call this animal with "Walang Wadung". But, I'm not so sure whether its English name is Locust or Grasshopper.

When I checked it in Wikipedia.org, I found that the picture of Locust or Grasshopper is not the same with Walang Wadung.

I took this picture in early 2010 in a garden near my house when we were cleaning our garden. These species can easily live in our area.

I love this picture. I took this picture in a close range. It's about 10 inches only. Do you love it, too?

Taman Pintar, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Taman Pintar in English is "Smart Park", may be. This is a place where children, especially elementary students, as well as kindergartens, may learn and play here. It was very crowded here in holiday season.

I took this picture at the end of the year 2009, when my daughter who is still in class one in an elementary school here had a vacation with her friends. It was very crowded here at Taman Pintar. We should wait for hours to entry the building.

However, I was feeling happy as my daughter looked so happy, too, although we were prohibited from photographing in the area. I hope my daughter will become smart after visiting this Park Smart or Smart Park.
