このごろのこと／これからのこと

ゴールデンウィークには家族そろって（わたしにとっては）初めてのいちご狩りに出かけた。甥っ子たちがイチゴが大好物なのでしっかり元は取れるぜ、ふふふ。。。と思っていたが、直前のラーメンが逆に効いたか、思ったほどは食べられなかった。いやいや、わたしら大人がその分は頑張った。それにしても暑かった。。。いちご狩りはもういいです。一生分楽しんだ！

そうやってゴールデンウィーク中の短い休みに、つくねっち（猫）まで連れて弟その２夫婦がわざわざ帰ってきてくれたのは、わたしの転職＆引っ越しのためでした。

来月からセブ島で暮らします！

My photo exhibition has 10 days left. It feels like days are flying, especially since the exhibition started, and the day I leave Japan is fixed. Yes, I leave my home and Japan soon to start a new life for the first time in my life. I'm going to move to Cebu, the Philippines. I'm a bit nervous as it is the first time I live other than my home as I said, and worried about my father. I'm not fully prepared for a new work there but excited and happy about it:))

the change of seasons

taken in late May, 2014

It's still spring but seems like I am at the change of season: I have not suffered from pollen fever this spring, but today I have a runny nose! The pollen report says there are little pollen in the air today, though. What is making me sneeze and have a runny nose?

Dogwood trees are almost in full bloom by the way:)

花粉はものすごく少ないらしいのに、なぜわたしの鼻は今日に限ってこんなにむずむずだらだら？季節の変わり目？？

なんにもないのに

Yes, I took a lot of photos like this using a loupe this spring...

部屋にはいっぱいありすぎる。

中断してた断捨離、きっちりやらねば。

って考えただけで、すでに腰が引けてる。

listen to birds singing in the rain

It has been raining almost every day these 2 weeks (or I just feels so). But wild birds are busy twittering, singing. Here in a small town where I live, they are heard to chirp beautifully. I can't specify what kind the birds are; I just enjoy listening to them.

菜の花の黄色が黄色の中でも一番好きだ。

a tiny varied tit coming to feed at my uncle's house 

ヤマガラのべーちゃん２号（誰がどれだかわからん＞m＜）ひまわりの種より落花生の方が好きなんだって。もうすぐ子育ての時期なので？食べる食べる食べる！

reflection

I have been on the Internet long so I have a lot of acquaintances, but only a very few friends. Some of them I have never met in person nor will ever meet, but I feel I'm very deeply connected with them. (That is just my imagination, perhaps?) I really appreciate their concern and encouragement. They send me strength. I hope I'll be of help to them in some form some day.

I read

unknown plant on the shore

"Far North " by Marcel Theroux. It was a unimaginably tough story but really intriguing. A barren image of the fields and towns lingered in my mind while I was in the story, but the story has something rich and fertile because of the main character, who is very far from me, "far north" itself.

Now, I'm reading The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. 

春眠求む

as you see, I always fix the lomography film at a wrong position:(

spring is almost here (though we have some more cold days ahead),
and the time has just started when I suffer from pollen allergy.

梅薫る

japanese plum blossom on February 16, 2015

そうだ、梅がもう咲いてるんだった、と梅の香りのお線香を灯す今日この頃。
I forgot but they had already started blooming and giving off a faint good smell.

This time last year I was visiting my mother in the hospital every day and dropping by at a shrine which has japanese plum trees in the small site. They were beautiful so I wanted to break off a branch to bring it to my mother, which I thought was nonsense (and it would be a crime!). Instead I shot the blossom with my camera and iPhone and showed her the images. It seems like a long time ago.

just resting

taken in November 2013

I ask to myself if it's just a rest or a complete loss of something.

朝も昼も夜も

ひねもすのたりのたりかな

I just want to look at you all day long.

今日は少し暖かで

all I think of is cats

passage

I left a lot of things unattended, just leaving them withered as time goes by with dust gathering on them. I  throw such things away at last. Precious memories only stay in my heart, though some of them perhaps go away. That's OK for me.
