Pink Carptet of Kawazu Sakura in Shirahama

Leave a reply

090220sakura01_3I went to Shirahama primary school with my son to pick my daughter up after school today.

This is a parking lot near the school.

When I picked my daughter up I found this and took some photos.

There are some Kawazu Sakura trees there.

We had a strong wind today and it made the cherry blossom brawn down on the parking lot.

My children were excited with it and running around this place.

In these days Kawazu Sakura trees have green leaves after blooming..

The best season for Sakura in this region will be finished soom.

When I saw the ocean from our pension I could see Izu Oshima island clearly, so I desided to go to Mt. Nesugata-yama by Cable car with my wife and son.

It’s only 3 minutes by calbe car to get to the top from the cable car station near Izukyu Shimoda station.

As I was thinking we could get very beutiful senery from the top of mountain like this picture……..

090127sunrise01"We couldn’t see a beutiful sunrise this morning, but we are lucky because we could take a picture of gorgeous sunrise yesterday morning."

Our guests who came from Taiwan and stayed for 2 nights said so when they checked out this morning.

As usual I went to the primary school with my daughter this morning and I took this picture on the way to home.

It wasn’t clear by cloud on the horizon this mornig, so our guests couldn’t get beautiful senery.

The weather forcast says it will be a little warmer after the middle of this week.

By the way do you have hey fever?

We have to worry about it after Wednesday because it will be warm after that.

090116beach01_3This morning, I walked with my daughter as usual, and when I was coming back home I found an interesting phenomenon on the beach.

It was a Frost smoke or an ice fog caused by extremely cold air flowing over a body of comparatively warm water.

The lowest temprature of Shirahama area was about 5 degrees, but the water was over 17 degrees in this season.

That’s why I could see this phenomenon this morning.

Sunrise and Izu seven islands in the late afternoon

I started to go to the shool with my daughter and the children at 7:00 am as usual and I walked down the hill.

This morning I could see the sun with cloud and it was gorgeous scenery.

In the afternoon I went to Shimoda for shoping by bike and …….

I walked with the children who go to Shirahama elementary school as usual this morning.

When we were walking on the national road one of the children found and cried,

"Look at this! The leaf is frozen!!"

Actually the water is frozen on leaves because of the low temprature.

I show the another photo……

090113sunrise01_2This morning I started to walk to the elementary school at 7:00 am with my daughter and the other children as usual.

When we went down the hill the sun was just rising up next to Toshima island.

Then one of children found something on the road and said,

"Look at this! The water is frozen here!"

The sea water is about 17 degrees even in this season but the water outside is sometimes frozen.
