From today, February 10th, "Kawazu Sakura Festival" is held in Kawazu town until March 10th.
I usually go to shopping to Shimoda, but today, I went to the supermarket in Kawazu town and saw this festival with my son, Yuuki.
In order to the information of Kawadu Sakura blooming , that I found through the internet, almost of every trees did not have Sakura bloomed.
After walking wiht my son I found one of trees, that had the flower of Sakura…
.
It was strong windy yesterday, but today it was really silent in Shirahama.
There were only 2 couples in the beach. One of them was walking along the beach side and sometimes taking a photo.
When I was taking a photo I noticed one thing.
It was about 3:30pm. The sun was setting …..
Today it was sunny, so I went to Minami Izu (Southern Izu) to take a photo of rape blossoms.
This place is a gate of "Shimokamo Onsen", there is a big field of rapes.
We have "Cherry and rape blossoms festival" in this area every year and "Rape blossoms wedding ceremony" will be held in this field on February 12th, Sunday. It is real wedding and 1 couple will be married.
Would you like to see the photos of this wedding? (Japanese only)
When I went to the beach and holded my camera to take a photo, I found a couple.
They were walking slowly together.
I guess they are travellers and came to Shirahama to have a slow time.
Could they have a lovely time in this afternoon?
A time is going as usual…
Something is changing while I do’nt realize.
What is there under that cloud?
What is there over that ocean?
A cloud is going toward that blue sky…
A dream is coming slowly from over that ocean…..
My wife said to me " I want to finish my work of accounting, so please be with Yuuki for 2 days."
That’s why I went to Kawazu and Amagi mountain with my children yesterday.
I had an appointment in Shimoda this afternoon, so I wanted to go and decided to go to Touji beach.
Yes, they have a Secret cave and Sand ski in Touji.
"It snows this morning !"
When my wife said so, I got up soon and saw outside.
Yes, there were a lot of snow around our Pension.
"I go to take photos."
After I said so, I went to the beach with my camera.
I could take a photo of snow in Shirahama beach after about 10 years.
When I got up this morning it was very cold in Shirahama, because it snowed.
"When does the spring come this year?"
When I saw the snow this morning I thought like that.
But the spring had already come in Kawazu town next to Shirahama.
It was very strong windy today.
In the winter we sometimes have windy day like today.
Especially west wind is really strong. That’s why many ships come to Shirahama beach to wait this wind finish.
I heard that about 500 ships go through over Irozaki cape a day, it is very dangerous for these ships when the wind is strong.
It was heavy rainny day yesterday, but today is sunny. The carpenters started to break the roof again from this morning.
By the way when I went to the postoffice, I went to the beach to take a photo. Then I found the tree of "Tsubaki" (Camellia) by the sea.
The color of red of Tsubaki and blue of sea are really beautiful.
