Azalea
Walking along the mountain road, I see azalea here and there.
They are also one of the signs of late spring or early summer.
I can enjoy the flowers blooming among the new leaves.

A pond near my house (April 17)
It’s very warm these days.
The new leaves of the trees are growing day by day.
I feel the energy of lives from them and the new leaves look very fresh and beautiful.

Dogwood in my yard are in full bloom now.
They didn’t have so many flowers last year as this year.
We can enjoy flowers in spring and red leaves in fall.

Taking a walk, I saw a new kind of streamer that I had never seen till yesterday.
I was very surprised at seeing it !
I've used 'ya421' as my nickname since June twenty 2004.
But I'm using 'yaya' on my goo home, so I decided to change my nickname from 'ya421' to 'yaya'.
Thank you !

I went to a shrine called 'Ni-shi so-no ji-n-jya' that is on the hill in the afternoon.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom there too.
I didn't see anyone there.
Perhaps many people visit there on Saturday or Sunday in this season of cherry blossoms.
I could enjoy these beautiful flowers very much ! 
It's been warm for a few days and the cherry blossoms began to bloom one after another.
These are some of them near my house.
Today my mother- in-law 'Shi-zu-sa-n' went there to enjoy beautiful flowers with her friends.
It's too cold for cherry blossom named 'So-me-i-yo-shi-no' to be in full bloom.
So it'll take a few days for us to enjoy its beautiful flowers.
But I saw this pink tree among the trees on the hill from the distance, so I went there to take this picture.
May be it's one of many kinds of cherry-tree.
