Late spring this year, Hand-Bell group called "シュルンマーリート, shurunma-ri-to" held a concert at a big hospital's restaurant. Sorry for my late posting. It was my first experience to hear the sweet sound of hand-bell directly with my own years. One of the music I posted below they played is from Nursery Rhyme called "Seven Crows". Sweet music by the sweet young girls♬
This is the y-tube page of this music with song.
*Gladiolus Flower and Japanese Pampas Grass*
About more than a month ago, my neighbor was working at his garden close to his gladiolus. I wanted to praise his hard work and started to talk to him. To my joy, he went to back yard and gave me his gorgeous gladiolus♬ I was so happy for this beautiful unexpected present. I found this Japanese Pampas Grasses alongside the road.
*Little Grebe*
A few days ago, this sweet Grebe was enjoying a light swim after lunch.
I saw the birdie had a big catch of a fish ;-)
Thank you very much for stopping by ;
I always appreciate your sweet comments;

It was fun to listen to the sweet young girls playing their handbells! So interesting, I knew nothing about this. Yes gladiolus is a handsome flower <3 Wishing you a lovely Sunday & the coming new week. Best wishes from the hot Finland. Today 32 C, but next week we'll have very chilly, even under 18 C.
ReplyDeleteMiyako - I have seen small and large handbell groups perform, and it is always impressive. How each person manages multiple bells has always been amazing to me. A lovely gladioli from your garden - I am sure it makes your heart very proud. Thanks for linking up to Mosaic Monday, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe music is so soothing ... a well choreographed dance of tinkling bells. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the hand bell performance by these talented young ladies! The sound is so soft and pleasant. It was really fun to listen to a familiar music played with hand bell!
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor is very sweet to gift you with his gladiolus. The flowers are so beautiful! Japanese Pampas Grasses are so beautiful, too!

ReplyDeleteWow, that is a long time ago I heard a hand bell choir - they performed often at church or during Christmas time. These gladioles are beautiful, and easy to to arrange in an art piece. The last image of the bird is so cute! Many thanks for sharing it with us at All Seasons, Miyako - and you were first, yay:):)
