Rainbow

初盆や 夕日の雲に虹のある first Bon ceremony - a rainbow joins the sunset clouds

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



First Bon Ceremony (hatsu Bon)
Performed for a person that died during the last year.

My aunt has died just a month ago, at age 93!
This sunset spectacular was like a special present from heaven.



My Last Bon Ceremony, August 15

Oh, beautiful shots, Gabi!
I really like the haiku too... how nice to have heavenly colors added to the celebration!

Lovely colours in the photo, Gabi. Looks like a good omen to me!

Lovely GABI
I loved your poem and nature's gift to you with the rainbow. Lovely !

Hi Gabi,
I like the haiku and the photo. The idea of 'first Bon ceremony' is interesting in that instead of being a 'first' for someone, such as a child's 'first' of some kind, it has a totally different feeling being both for the deceased and still-living family.

The skies have been beautiful here, too, the past few days.
