Japan last week experienced a deep snow for the first time in decades.
Still, covering the earth.
I have come across for the first time in my life.
雪の内に 春はきにけり うぐひすの こほれる涙 今やとくらむ
二条后 藤原高子 (842-910) 古今和歌集
In the snow spring has come tears spilling from the bush warbler will melt?
Fujiwara no Takaiko (842-910) Kokin Wakashū
み吉野は 山もかすみて 白雪の ふりにし里に 春は来にけり
摂政太政大臣 九条良経 (1169-1206) 新古今和歌集
Mountains of Yoshino falling white snow like hazy in lonely village spring has come
Kujō Yoshitsune (1169-1206) Shin Kokin Wakashū
Severity of winter will further enhance the joy of spring.
Please take care of yourself.
ヒソプの枝で私の罪を払って下さい。私が清くなるように。 私を洗って下さい。雪よりも白くなるように。
詩編 51章 9節
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Book 19 Psalms 51:9
God bless you.
Let us hope the snow does not cause any trouble with the flowering and fruit of your trees. Beautiful -as usual- your pictures.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week-end Renata
Magnifique !

ReplyDeleteHello Ruma.
ReplyDeleteI have come across for the first time in my life, you say, I bet it was a very interesting experience.
Very beautiful all those photos of yours, lovely colours, very deep words.
Thank you for your visit and trying to comment in Spanish, very good try.
Have a very nice weekend.
Big hug.
Ambar
I still remember the magic of the first snow in the place of the sea where I was born!
ReplyDeleteI was 11 years old and had never seen snow from the truth!
I have lived later in northern Italy where it often snows ... and the Alps very close.
But nothing comparable to the first snowfall in the garden .... Have a great week
greetings from Italy
Rita
Really amazing pics!:)
ReplyDeleteZobaczyliście jak wygląda biały puch na ziemi. Mam nadzieję, że nie uczyni szkody pięknym kwiatom. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteYou saw how the white fluff on the ground. I hope you do not damage the beautiful flowers. Yours.
Encore une fois, je suis enchantée par la féérie des paysages...
ReplyDeleteBon weekend !

Desde Andalucia potras ocaciones en tus entradas a mi blog de fantasias
ReplyDeleteChoć to piękne zjawisko, to przykro patrzeć jak je śnieg niszczy. U nas zima najcieplejsza od dziesięcioleci, ja nie mam nic przeciwko temu. Śnieg to lubię tylko na Boże Narodzenie i w górach. Byle by jeszcze nie padał w tym roku.
ReplyDeletePozdrawiam.
HOLA AMIGO RUMA !!!! PRECIOSO DE VERAS.... QUE BONITO TODO !!!! PERO EL VIDEO, ME HA DEJADO SIN HABLA.... YA SABES QUE SOY UNA ENAMORADA DE TU TIERRA.

紅梅に積もった雪が、氷となって、雫となって、早春の光に輝いて。奈良でも、もうすぐ春を呼ぶお水取りが始まります。広い野原に積もった雪の凸凹模様に光が反射して輝いて、近い春を感じます。

Your images are beyond beautiful Ruma, mother nature and yourself work together well :)
ReplyDeleteRuma - even the snow and ice cannot suppress the beauty of the rich red flowers. Enjoy the beauty of the snow and the coming of spring. Peace. B
ReplyDeletefantastic shots but snow on flowers in the trees is very bad for fruits
ReplyDeletePrecious photographies those that you have caught between the snow. I like it very much the tonal contrasts with the white of the snow. I wait and desire you goes all good. Happy Week and an embrace.
ReplyDeleteRamon

Rumaさんの梅はいつも青空の下で、きりりと引き締まって春の到来を告げる美しい花だなあと思います。毎日空を見上げてますがグレーの日が続いています。光を浴びた波のような雪は目を奪われます。畑の上に積もった雪なのでしょうか?
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. Not only the red flowers against the white snow, but also the sparkles in the snow.
ReplyDeleteSnow in Japan. It is sad, but interesting. I feel sorry for plants and flowers. Thank you for visit I greet you.
ReplyDeleteMi querida ruma, de cierto que ha sido una maravillosa experiencia ver por primera vez la nieve y yo me alegro, porque su imagen tan blanca es impactante.
ReplyDeleteGracias por las bellas fotografías y el vídeo.
Le dejo un beso de ternura
Sor.Cecilia
You are the first blog that I have found from Japan. I will follow and observe your great photography and maybe even comment once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI find it extraordinary the first image with the blur background.
ReplyDeleteThe second image is wonderful scenery and above all, by the unusual snow here

Querido Ruma, las delicadas imágenes que muestras son siempre un poema en sí mismas y además representan el pequeño milagro de la naturaleza, flores entre la nieve, un colorido que contrasta a la vista y que produce una inmensa alegría.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo enorme.
Dear Ruma, delicate images you show are always a poem in themselves and also represent the small miracle of nature, flowers in the snow, a colorful contrast to the light and produces an immense joy.
A huge hug.
That bonsai looks nice under the snow. But is the plant resistant enough?
ReplyDeleteAfter a hard time, always hoping the sun comes out.
ReplyDeleteI liked the first picture.
