  so many blossoms ... the swan house on the lake still empty    Friends in the Sky talking of old times and yesteryear  sudden suspense ... and here he comes our way  and who might this be?  |

How to do hanami?
ReplyDeleteHanami 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 -
ReplyDeleteyou 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.
