Takitani Pond

  
  




33 shining bright




17 park



so many blossoms ...
the swan house on the lake
still empty





44 lake and mountain




37 park pleasures





41 branch in sunshine





Friends in the Sky
talking of old times
and yesteryear


25 friends in the sky






sudden suspense ...
and here he comes
our way


30 heron




and who might this be?

How to do hanami?

Hanami literally means "flower viewing", however, it commonly refers only to cherry blossom viewing. Cherry blossom viewing is easy: Simply enjoy the intensity of the many blossoms by looking at a single tree or a group of trees. From a distance, the trees appear as beautiful clouds, while the beauty of single blossoms can be enjoyed from a close distance.

Cherry blossoms are also especially beautiful in combination with a castle, temple or shrine. In some places the blossoms are lit up in the evening, which makes an amazing sight.

Good grief, Gabi -
you live in such a beautiful area - no wonder you come up with such gorgeous haiku.
I envy you - my environment is still gray and brown, with just touches of green here and there.
