another day

I saw the huge burning red sun rising in the east while I was walking early in the morning. Sun-kissed trees in a park were beautiful.

pots

There was a tableware bargain sales at a shopping center near my house. At the first glance of a certain teapot, it gave me a sense of marvelous stability and I fell in love with it. The price was reasonable 1,600 yen and I bought it immediately. I also bought a soy sauce pot. They are both lovely wares, aren’t they?

Walking

Early morning walking exercise

Too hot to walk, lower back pain, knee pain, getting up early is hard and yada yada yada!? Quite a few excuses I have made, but no more! I have resumed early morning walking exercise. The breeze I feel on my cheeks is cooler these days.

Ise Shrine

I went to Ise shrine and traveled though Ise-Toba district last week. The shrine was so crowded that it was really hard even to walk for my mother who uses a walking stick. Luckily, however, a wheelchair with a battery was available at the entrance. We rent it and she sat comfortably on it, which helped her and me very much.
The photo is a blissful moment of the sunset seen from the Toba observatory. The sun came out of the clouds and the mists among the mountains underneath made me feel serenity of the nature.

Autumn

I know it is a transitional time from summer to autumn. Things are bit mixed up, which is not unusual though. So am I. To my surprise, I found spring flower Malus halliana(Kaido in Japanese) and autumn flower orange osmanthus are blooming side by side in my garden.
