fake news twitters

my morning twitters - they know nothing of "fake news"

With Donald Trump as president, there is a lot of talk about
. FAKE NEWS .



We feed the sparrows in the garden,
and every morning they provide us with their "Thank You" concert.

gabi,
The world of Googling is great.
It has so many posibilities. A friend from a diferent state sent a picture of a bird in her back yard and asked if I knew the name of it. I didn't, but searched Google ... still didn't find the name. Then found an e- mail address on one of the web pages... sent him an e-mail request... and in an hour, half way around the world I got an answer...(Anhinga)
I love Googling, it connects people around the world...

The Weatherhuman was going to indulge his/her creativity in a pre-Thanksgiving haiku but forgot how many syllables go where.
Funny how Googling "haiku" gets erotic haiku in just a few clicks.

winter storm

whatever happens
I take as "the best" --
winter storm



Two large low-pressure systems with cold air over the Sea of Japan, heading down ...
with whipping wind and all ...
a typhoon by any other name ...
and maybe 24 more hours to go ...





what a scene -
colored leaves are blown
before they fall



Outside the window, colored leaves are blown by.
They might have made it on their trees for a bit longer,
if it was not for these bursts of super-strong wind.





In Utsunomiya town they had the first frost of this year on the morning of November 6. About eight days later than usual.

dokuraku

独楽 dokuraku hitori de tanoshimu 熊谷守一 Kumagai Morikazu （1880―1977） to enjoy his garden all by himself - to enjoy life

Kumagai Morikazu
is mostly recognized as a representa-tive painter of the Japanese modern age. Kimura Teizo (1913-2003), a Nagoya art collector, first discovered Kumagai's talents and assisted him in various ways throughout his life. When they first met, Kumagai was 25 and Kimura, 59 but they formed a bond that lasted a lifetime. Many of Kumagai's works are simple and offer the viewer a calm and nostalgic feeling.

Although Kumagai is known generally as a western-style painter, he left behind various styles of artwork, including Japan-ese paintings and calligraphies. Kimura bought more than 100 pieces of his work and his ability to identify authentic talent was amazing. Even after Kumagai's death, Kimura's collection of Kumagai's paint-ings grew year by year.

Kimura and his wife donated the collection to the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art. This collection consists of about 50 oil paintings, 100 Japanese-style paintings, 40 calligraphies, and 20 sculptures and paintings on pottery, which gives the entire picture of Kumagai's artistic output, offering an interesting insight into the diversity of Kumagai's world.





. Reference .


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


For the last thirty years of his life, after loosing two children to disease, he lived in a home in Tokyo, with a small garden, that turned out to become his paradise. He put up tree stumps in six locations to enjoy the view, spending hours to observe the animals, from the smallest ants to the bigger birds and the cats in the neighbourhood.





He could stare at a puddle
until he had grasped
the essence of raindrops.



He could lie on his back on the earth, watching the sun pass through the trees and observe the changes of shadows, the bees and the butterflies, the little flowers and the weeds.

first cold spell clouds

sudden cold spell -
waiting for a friend
at the station



The weather has suddenly changed, over night, so to say.
Rain and cold wind from Siberia pound this side of Japan, while typhoon 14 is brewing in the south.
Hokkaido is expecting the first snow of the season.


And we plan to have dinner outside . . . ? !



Well, it was too cold for anything outside.
And now, on the morning of 27, it was just five degrees centigrade ... brrr ... and we will be shivering through a cold day.

Our friend is sketching the landscape.

We had some splendid sky formations over the mountains and tanada rice fields ... and a splendid sunset pink storm clouds raging in straight from Siberia ...


next morning


sudden cold spell -
I need another thick

An island of ice more than four times the size of Manhattan is drifting across the Arctic Ocean after breaking off from a glacier in Greenland. Potentially in the path of this unstoppable giant are oil platforms and . . .

A massive iceberg in Greenland has sparked a scientific debate over its threat to shipping and possible links to global warming.

The largest iceberg in almost five decades split from Greenland's Petermann Glacier last Friday and is drifting towards the Arctic Ocean.

A University of Delaware researcher said the ice island, about 30 kms long and 10 kms wide, is four times the size of Manhattan. The last time the Arctic lost such a large chunk of ice was in 1962.

While it is drifting slowly, it is now a constant reminder of the massive maritime tragedy which sank the once-thought unsinkable Titanic passenger liner in 1912.

Some experts worry the iceberg, which is too huge to be stopped, will pose a danger to oil platforms and shipping lanes, while others think the danger is not that immediate.

Researchers are trying to draw up the trajectory of the floating iceberg. They say it is drifting toward the Nares Strait which separates Greenland's northwestern coast and Canada's Ellsemere Island.
