- I drove my 1961 bus in "Branch Brook Park" in Newark, New Jersey where cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
There are so many trees with beautiful flowers and it takes a long time to drive through the park.
In order to keep the video short and well-paced, most of the video is played back at 150% to 300% fast forward.
If you just want to see the part of the video that I was driving through the Cherry Blossoms, please jump to 3min52sec.
According to Wikipedia and NJ.com, this park has over 5,000 cherry blossom trees in 18 different varieties. It has the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the United States. Surprisingly, it is more than Washington, D.C.
Since cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan (where I came from), I used music created by the Japanese artist featuring a traditional Japanese musical instrument. I hope you can enjoy the beauty of spring on the east coast of the USA.
Also, I brought my old Nikon Lenses, a 50mm f1.4 that I bought in the 1970s when I was in high school and a 20mm f2.8 that I bought in the 1990s. I used these old Nikon lenses on Canon 5D mark4 to shoot some video. You can see them at the end of the video.
It was a perfect spring day to shoot video and photos. And, even though it was Monday, one person with his VW came to drive around with me. That made this day extra special. Thank you my new friend Eli.

Excellent video my friend. Beautiful scenery and very well done. 👍👍😎
Thank you very much for watching and leave me a comment.
Yes. For sure, “a bus can make a lot of people smile.” - so does your video. 👏🏻🙏🏻 - beautiful park, and lovely images in the section with your old lens. You have very thoughtful narration. Hope to see more adventures.
Thank you very much for your very kind comment. I am so encouraged by your comment. You gave me energy to make more video. Thank you very much! - Toshi
Hello Toshi, these old busses are a good excuse to bring different people together; they are happy busses. Every summer, people from around the world drive up in their VW's to my state of Alaska to visit, and i am fortunate to make many friends. Enjoy your new friends!
Wow, you are in Alaska! You must have a short season that you can drive your bus. Thank you and take care.
@VWBusLife yes, about 6 months every year, when it is above 0°F. I pot in a little diesel heater. My '58 is the oldest farthest north bus on the planet, so it gets lonely up here for VW company. Thanks for your video.
