ＫＯＩＮＯＢＯＲＩ

I went a park near by river yesterday. It was a beautiful day!

What an  attractive scenery!!

This flying carps called KOINOBORI in Japanese. We traditionally celebrate boys good health and happiness.  They also hoist koinobori, carp-shaped streamers that symbolize strength and success in life because Chinese legends say carp become dragons when they swim up whitewater rapids.

A big black carp is as a father,a red one as a mother,and small ones as children. They are stood at the family which have boys and we can often see KOINOBORI at this time. But these are across the river!! Fantastic!

Seem like as Carps are flying  or swimming in the blue sky.

It was a bit windy day but I felt very comfortable spring fresh air on my face.
Waters go fast..So nice!

Have a nice the rest of week and wonderful weekend!!

This is a messanger of..

Hello friends! it was a good day today and I walked seeing lovely Dogwood trees.  What a strange name!!

 We call it as Hanamizuki in Japanese which seem to come from USA in 1915.

We sent Sakura tree and the instead Dogwood from USA in those days  ;)

As a messenger of peace :)

Unusual

Hello friends! Hope you're all right and having relaxing weekend.
Now you know,Nature is certainly becoming to change -something strange. Earthquake,Volcanic eruption and weather. what's up? Our April is also unusual and we have cold April. Unexpected snow? chilly weather? Does it come back to winter? Fortunately Sakura is still blooming so we 're enjoying for long days than usual.  Although spring is going slowly actually.

This is an another kind of Sakura with beautiful pleats petal. YAESAKURA

It blooms late in April. Isnt it gorgeous?　Somehow Sakura knows the time?

We enjoy spring beauty so much!

Have a nice rest of weekend !!
