"Girl's Day Festival" Exhibition '2018' etc;

*Hina-maturi ‘雛祭り’ Girl's day Festival Exhibition*

Dolls for 'Girl's day' is called "Hina Doll" and "maturi" means Festival.  Local (next city) Handicraft Association called 'タンポポの会 Tanpopo no kai ' held 10th of this exhibition at the next city's department store.  The amazingly huge scale of exhibited works made me think how I can arrange my post ;-)

*Works of  Indigo-Dyeing*

The Exhibition was the collaboration of these two handcrafts.

I felt really "Thankful"  for my luck♪

*Gifted Flower Pictures* 

Lady keyboard player of the band my husband belong to gifted me these pictures a bit while ago.  Sorry that I couldn't identify two flowers in the first picture.  Flower in the second picture is Hoya carnosa.  In Japanese we call the flower, " サクラランsakuraran".  

Before and After of Blooming

*Male and Female of Two birds* 

I've already posted Male and Female of Pale Thrush before. This year, many of them came to the tree in front of my house♫♫♫   Female has the Grayish color.

Early this month, I found Female Bull-headed shrike for the first time.  Picture of Male (left) was the old one I've posted before; Sorry that the female picture has the greenish color of the back.
