Another Spring Festival at Sue-Community Center etc;



Another Festival early this week
My husband attended another spring festival at the community center where the band group he belong to  usually use for practicing. As I was away from home last 3 days, posting a bit late than I expected.

 Literally, 花(ka)=flower; (鳥)cho=birds; 風(fu)=wind; 月(getsu)=moon
The beauties of nature with full of flowers, birds, winds and moon is the refined elegance of nature and moving to human mind. One of Yojijukugo which is a Japanese idiom consisted of four Chinese character (Kanji).
                                                      
* Wood Carving;  I felt "Thankful" being able to enjoy marvelous works. *


                                          *I was fascinated by this work*
In Japanese, we say  ありがとう for “Thank you”.  The word in this work was made up with these words.   And also written similar shape with a Kanji-Character of   which means “glad, pleased, delighted”.   It sure is important and wonderful thing to express appreciation to someone's kindness and pleased each other♪
 

*Flower of Canola was blooming outside of the center*

*Japanese white-eye enjoying orange in my little yard*


                          Thank you very much for your sweetness Despite my absence;
               Hope you all are doing well and I will See You Soon ♡♡♡

  11. The little bird in your yard is so sweet! Love the shots you took of the musical bands, but also the flower arrangements - and the one with the ball with colors (is it glass?) is beautiful! So much to see here in this post! Many thanks for sharing it all with All Seasons! Have a lovely week, Miyako!

  16. I love drums. That's a great idea about the orange slices on branches, but I'm afraid the large jays and ravens would take them away from the little birds. - Margy

  22. Hi Miyako, I have a question for you:

    We are celebrating Literature Week in April, and we book bloggers give tips of books that have been special to us. I thought I'll write about 3 books that tell about Japan. I fell in love with them all. They are written by Finnish writers and available only in Finnish.

    But I would be very pleased if you let me link or use some of your calligraphy photos & posts. They would be very interesting to Finnish readers. Also a link to your blog might bring you visitors: in my book blog there are 16.000 - 18.000 visitors a month.

    My post would appear on Monday 16th of April. Tell what you think?!! Best regards & hugs <3
