The garden of cherry blossom





　The microcosm which was surrounded by spring colors.
　A nameless temple.

　The quite time goes by...




　Innumerable sunshine filtering through foliage.
　They came through thin petals.

　And, will fuse on the earth.




　Countless pure white stars.
　They shine into a deep blue sky.

　... will go down as meteor shower, soon.

    Hello Ruma.
    Very often I would like to write a comment, but impossible, and I do'nt know why ! Frustrated.
    One of my dream, is to see the cherries blossom in Japan. Lucky enought I have been twice in Japan. Always in automn.

    Here, not far from Lausanne, is a garden where a space is desicated to Japan trees and plantes. They says the blossom are ealy this year. So I will go next saterday, a *balade* organise by the Swiss-Japan society.
    Sametime they organise Japan' films projections. Lucky enought, a Japanese ceramist' friend tell me when it hapen.

    All the best to the Japan'reconstruction . They are willpower people, they will do it.
    The thing my friends say here about the boss of this *devel centrale nucléaire* * very *étonnant* for Japaneses people. Minning they are usely very organese and honest. So, why these one did'nt repair the brocken system 2 years ago !

    What beautiful photos, Ruma ! Specially the one with the pink flowers. That's right in your country the cherrytrees are a beautiful spring ambassador.
    North of Japan and a lot of people did not get any beautiful spring this year.

    "Countless pure white stars.

    I do love this expression, ruma. I'll keep it in my mind to remember when I look up luminous sakura against bule sky.
