This is one colorful flower, innit? 

Not to belabor the point, but I finally got some blossoms to shoot on the Anne Frank rose. 

Here's the picture of the tsutsuji way. 

Now from a different angle. Not too many blooms, but lots of buds. Looks kind of lonely, doesn't it? 

How about an even better one? 

Here's a better picture of the Anne Frank rose. 

And more wisteria! 

Look at all that climbing wisteria in the sugi! 

Here's a familiar sight: the rotary all decked out with tsutsuji. 

An Anne Frank rose complete with sign. Where did that come from? 

A minstrel on the front lines... 

Taro, did what I just said make sense? 

My team, F-dan, had my favorite dance, but they only came in third (sniff). Coincidentally, they also came in third overall, their best showing in years. 

A-dan had the winning dance and also took the top score for the whole event. 

...or dancing. This is B-dan, choreographed by a former music club member. They came in second. 

...or at an angle... 

...holding each other up... 

...walking all over each other... 

...pulling... 

Teamwork is essential, whether for cheering... 

Sometimes you have to double-park to see anything. 

(from left) The principal, trustee, deputy principal, and two vice principals look like they'd rather be at an enkai. 

The (P.E. department) staff look harried but relieved. 

There are lots of proud parents on the sidelines. 

...and here and there a teacher.
