Sakura Scene 2009

The perfect timing of Cherry blossoms in Tokyo in this year was last week. People sit down underneath trees and enjoy having food or drinks as the first picture of blue sheets.



















However I prefer just walking a street lined with trees and having drinks or chatting with friends. I feel it's more respectful to Trees.


They have gone through sweltering summer and chilly winter to show the beautiful blooms to us. And I have heard that the roots are vulnerable so that they can be easily damaged.
So watch out people!

By the way, I often ask people which sex they think of the trees. They all say that cherry trees are females. However I think it's opposite.

今年の東京のお花見のシーズンは先週でした。
青いシートが写っている写真のように桜の木の下に座り食べたり飲んだりして花を楽しみます。





でも私は桜の木の下を飲み物片手に、もしくは友達とおしゃべりしながら散歩する方が好きです。
その方がうだるような夏と凍てつくような冬をたった数日間私たちを楽しませてくれるために咲いてくれる桜の木に対して敬意をあらわしていると思うから。
それに桜の木の根は傷みやすいと聞いたことがあるので。
気をつけてあげてくださいね。

ところで私は人によく
’桜の木は男だと思う?それとも女だと思う?’
と質問します。
たいていみんな女だというのですが、私は反対だと思っています。
いかがでしょうか^^

I am sorry you have deleted my comments in the past. I don't know what I did to offend you but I am sorry if I did do something to make you delete my comments.

All I want to say is I live on the other side of the world...I love your pictures...I want nothing more than to see more... because I am a humble gentle soul who just wants to know and communicate with those who live in Japan.

Great Pictures. I love that they are BIG so I can see the detail. Keep them coming please. Thank you.

Hi, Chow Wo Man
I have never deleted anyone's comments here. Same as the first message from someone.
Why people would think that I need to do it?

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...
