We went to a mountain which a local man has yesterday.
Our purpose was to get Sakura trees.
He has a lot of Sakura trees in his field, and when I was talking with him about Sakura he decided to give me some Sakura trees.
While we were talking about Sakura my son, Yuuki, was playing alone touching the soil…..
Today my wife had to do her job, so I had to be a baby sitter of my son, Yuuki.
I was thinking where we go.
As we had a strong wind I thought that we might be able to see Mt. Fuji from the west side of Izu peninsula today.
I reseached it in the web camera site ….. Bingo !!
So I desided to go to see Mt. Fuji with my son !!
When I was driving on the way of West Izu I could see Mt. Fuji, I was very excited !!
After check-out of our guests, I cleaned up the guest rooms and I went to the beach with my daughters and her friends.
We had a wind a little but it was very warm today too.
There is a little long cliff of sand on this beach and we can play sand ski there.
We did it after a long time but the children were very excited to do it.
Today it was very beautiful day !
I was standing on the balcony of Japanese style room and I could see a blue sea, ships and Izu Oshima island over there.
I wanted to go to the beach to take pictures of beautiful sea but I couldn’t do it because of my job.
Oh, my god !!
This year it is Pension Sakuraya’s 20th Anniversary.
We decided to give the original postcard to our guests who stay at our Pension this year.
I had been taking pictures for 6 years since 2000, and total number of my pictures would be more than tens of thousands pieces.
And I selected some pictures of them and made the original postcards…..
As I had a meeting today I went by walking.
When I was walking on the beach I found a loooooong shadow.
Of course it’s mine.
But it looks like a giant, right ?
By the way I found the another thing ……
It was sunny today too in Shirahama.
The plum trees are fully blooming and the white-eyes came to this tree to get hunny.
We usually can find them two birds, they may be a couple.
This is a good season for them because they can find easily many kinds of flowers in our garden.
I am showing today’s Shirahama beach …..
When I was cleaning up the guest room I found that Shirahama beach was shinning with blue sea.
So I desided to go to the beach with my family.
"After we finish the work let’s go to the beach ! Hurry up, girls ! Finish your homework !!"
Today it was Sunday, so we can go with not only my son but also my daughters. …
We got an e-mail from our guests who stayed at Sakuraya last October.
(Our guests who sent us e-mail are on the left side in this picture.)
In their e-mail they said that their Izu trip diary has been finished.
They wrote their articles in Chinese but you can see the pictures of Sakuraya at least.
Please check the webpages, DAY3, DAY4 and DAY5.
We had a strong western wind yeseterday, so I was thinking that it would be cold today.
In Japan they had snow in many cities today, but it was very warm here in Shirahama.
Today we had guests, so I went to our garden to pick up the flowers for the decolations with my son.
In our garden the narcissus flowers had already finished in the same stage of last February, but they are full blooming this year. …..
