After we've done New
Year's visit to a shrine, we passed by the cherry‐tree‐lined path on our way back home. Luckily we found Oriental Green Finch, many of them were flying back and forth between the Cherry Trees and the rice paddy behind them ♪

On 15th this month, we enjoyed Jazz Music from the same players I posted here last year and before. It has been about 10 years since we started to enjoy their play. His great talent and beautiful sound of saxophone gave my husband motive to start playing the instrument.

＊Great Arrangement from my friend and the Flower from the road ＊
This work was done by my old friend who teaches flower arrangement.
I thought the way she put the waves for daffodil leaves are so excellent♪
Sorry I couldn't identify the name of this flower :-)
It's really cold now even in my area. Hope you are not having extreme weather!
I'm starting to visit you; See You Soon.

Good morning Orchid, love your bird mosaics - such great photographs. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYour birds are so so cute💕 The flower arrangement is beautiful and artistic... The unknown plant might be some Lamium species! Happy MM!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos of the birds! Just stopping by from Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako, so lovely to catch up with you again.
ReplyDeleteThe sweet little Green Oriental Finches look so cute sitting on the tree.
Your jazz night looked like a lot of fun and how nice that it inspired your husband to start playing once more :D)
I love the ballet, and your friend's floral arrangement caused me to immediately think of a twirling ballerina - so graceful.
Such a beautiful flower. It's leaves remind me of those of a type of geranium or pelargonium but I'm not sure at all. In any case, it is unusual and lovely to look at.
Cheerio for now, have a really enjoyable week ahead. Hugs :D)xx
Beautiful post. Love seeing the finch. I love jazz -- the saxophone has such a full sound. Lovely flower arrangement -- talented friend! Stay warm. Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteThe birds are so sweet. Looks similar to one I saw here a few weeks ago. Love jazz music. My youngest boy played the sax in high school. Gorgeous flower arrangement by your friend. Warm wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy Jazz too, but seldom get to hear a live performance . The little green finches are sweet ....so cheerful, especially the way you arranged the pictures. . It is raining here in our part of Florida, but still warm. Much better weather than most of the country.
ReplyDeleteLove good jazz and your bird photos are beautiful ~ Such a pretty bird and the musicians photos are wonderful too ~ Good music is always fun ~ Wonderful post and photos, thank you ~ Miyako
ReplyDeleteWishing you a gentle and creative week ~ ^_^
Awww such cute birdies! They decorate bare branches like green leaves :-) How nice you enjoyed jazz night. I'd love to see them play live, too. I can imagine how great talent and beautiful sound can be inspiration for your husband. Genuine beauty of music can be quite moving. I love the flower arrangement by your friend! I agree, the waves for daffodil leaves are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the name but I know that flower from the road! That is the flower I found often when I was in elementary school. 懐かしい！ I hope someone can identify it!
Have a wonderful new week, Miyako san xoxo

ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a variety of quite exotic looking birds!
Thank you for your visit. I'm still catching up after finishing the large curtain in over 100 hours. My left hand thumb and index finger still need to recover... feeling kind of numb.
I'm so depressed because my FeedBurner is not updating my latest post already since January 11... Tried everything and can't get it working correct.
Almost discouraging for posting anything as nobody will detect it.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful bird shots.
ReplyDeleteDer Grünfink ist auch bei uns in der Heimat stark vertreten
ReplyDeleteIch mag ihn sehr und deine Fotos sind zauberhaft !
Das Blumengesteck erinnert mich irgendwie an eine Tänzerin.
Ich komme zu Besuch von FloralBliss
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

The Greenfinch is strongly represented in the home
I like him very much, and your photos are beautiful!
The floral arrangement reminds me somehow of a dancer.
I come to visit FloralBliss
Greetings from Germany

Thanks for this wonderful post.
The greenfinches linger in the north of Germany for a short while, we feed them and they move on ...
The flower arrangement is charmingly beautiful ;-))
Have a good weekend
Hello Miyako, I love your sweet Green Finch. It is a beautiful bird and your photos are lovely. It is great to be out enjoying the live music and band. The flowers are beautiful, a lovely arrangment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy day and weekend ahead.
I like greenfinches. Beautiful birds. And, I love jazz! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the color of the finch's plumage! That's a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jazz!!!!!----love saxophone music. Impressive.
I also want to convey my thanks to you for sharing this with us birders at I'd Rather B Birdin'....it's always much appreciated.
Saxophone is a favourite instrument of mine! I am sure it was lovely to listen to this jazz band. I am also a big fan of the cello. I have a lot of albums from Yo Yo Ma and his cello. The finch is beautiful - in shape it is like our goldfinch. The colours are quite stunning. The daffodil arrangement is truly original! Wow! So creative! Have a wonderful week, Miyako! Sending you a hug from Canada!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of images. The first photo of the finch is perfect! It would be nice to enjoy the live music. The flower arrangement is very nice. Your friend is quite talented. Thanks for joining Friday's Hunt. Sorry I'm so late visiting this week.
