The weather is very fickle in this season, but it has been warm and fine these days. In my garden Japanese Andromeda bloomed and began to fade away.
And I found the wild violet this morning by the shrub of the Japanese Andromeda.
It was really fine day last Thursday.
My husband went out for viewing cherry blossoms with his friends.
They are always searching for some reason and occasion for drinking and eating.

| Cherry blossoms near my house were in full bloom last week. |
I could not resist my impulse to go out in the sunshine ,so I took a train bound for Kyoto shortly after, remembering that I happened to see a magical picture of weeping cherry blossoms along Kamogawa river in Kyoto.
The colour of the blossoms were pink-red and each flower looked a little bigger than that of common cherry flower called Somei-yoshino which are seen in the above picture.
On earth how many sort of cherry blossoms are there. I know the names of only a few.
The blossoms came into sight just like the picture I saw, hanging the branches on a basket- like arch and bathing spring brilliant sunlight. This district is called Nakaragi(半木）.
Some are pushing their baby cars and some are doing the same for wheelchairs, and every one looks happy.
It was relaxing time, and I thought as if I could take a long long walk along the river.
But now it was time to return, for I did not leave any message for my husband because I left home impulsively.
しゃりしゃりとガラス毀（こぼ）るる音のして再生工場前さくら咲く haricot
sha-ri, sha-ri, sha-ri,,,
bits of glass were falling
inside of the recycling plant
and by the gate
cherry blossoms are fully in bloom
I composed this tanka last spring, walking along a river which was closer to my residence.
I was caught by a strange sensation when I heard such a sound like glass breaking and were littering somewhere in the factory and I saw some cherry blossoms as they were reborn in front of the recycling plant.
Cherry blossoms make me feel some mysterious power.
It is supposed that they were at their peak last weekend.

I'm glad you took the chance to go out and see beautiful things. Cleaning the floor can always wait, but now you have the beautiful memories. I try always to remember that chores can wait and good times are to be enjoyed.
Salut Haricot,
Toujours des photos qui nous font rêver, en particulier celles des bords de rivière avec ces petites cascades et cette couleur rose et blanche qui domine, MAGNIFIQUE.....
Chez nous aussi les températures son froides.
Amicalement.Celeste
Is that along the Nakaragi-no-michi? I haven't been to Kyoto for more than a year. I really (really!) must go for another visit.
Thanks for running away from your husband ^^ to bring us such beautiful photos!
Haricot,
I also have andromeda, but mine don't have the pink tips. Your sense of humor shows in your comment about your husband! I am so glad you too the trip though I wish you could have stayed longer. The arches covered with cherry blossoms and the river walk are beautiful.
I love your tanka! I can hear the falling glass and see the cherry blossoms.
xo,
Jen
This post made me smile! Glad to hear that you ran away from your husband and went to Kyoto!! The sakura in Kyokyo must be one of the best in Japan! I wish I would have been there this spring. I have many friends who live in Kyoto, so your lovely photos remind me of them. The weeping cherry blossoms are so beautiful!
In your tanka-poem, I love "sha-ri, sha-ri". The image and sound of the glass pieces conjure up an image of sakura blossoms fluttering down! Briiliant tanka, indeed!
加茂川、本当にステキです。いらして本当によかた！ それから前のポストの寺山さんの短歌もとてもステキでした。
この辺りの桜も若葉にかわってきています。
ミステリアスにも、清らかにも、華やかにも輝いて今年の桜も去っていきましたね。
遊歩道の土手にタンポポやつくしやスミレが出そろっていて、足元の春を感じました。
賀茂川べりの広々としたのどかな風景、やさしいですね。リサイクル工場のガラスの砕ける音に桜花を重ね合わせる・・ふ～ん、すごいですね。
Cherry blossoms are indeed great excuse to have a party. We’ve had many many springs, but every spring brings fresh sensation. I like it when a large weeping cherry tree looks like a pink parasol. I love sakura trees lining up the river but now I’ve realized the sakura close to the factory would bring more pleasure to me. I sometimes enjoy solitary excursion leaving my husband behind. I think absence or silence of me would make him refreshed even if we are not fighting, and vice versa. (~0~)/

Thank you for your kind comment. yes, it was good that I did not miss the view and joy.
Celeste
Merci beaucoup! Il y a eu beaucoup de soleil qui m'a donne les bonne chances pour les photos. C'est printemps.

have you been Kyoto time to time, I suppose. Kyoto is much bigger city than Nara, and too many place to see. It's one of them,as you wrote,Nakaragi-no-michi.
Jen
Your andromeda is white? White ones are common here and I like them, too. I apreciate your kind comment about my tanka, as well.
sapphire
Oh, thank you, sapphire, for your kind comment on my phrases.
You came from Kansai, right? So it makes you remember many memories with your friends I think.
Kyoto has vast roads and landscapes, doesn't it?

コメントありがとうございます。季節の移り変わりを目の当たりにする季節ですね。若葉がぐんぐん伸びて。この桜の写真はcosmosさんのに多いに刺激を受けて頑張って撮ったんですよ。雰囲気はそれほどありませんけど、、、。

Thank you for your interesting comment. You are much more active than I, I think. I'd like to visit many unknown places for me.
As always, very VERY beautiful! Thanks for.
御所に咲いても、再生工場に咲いても、ただ無心に咲く桜がいとおしくなるような句ですね。
鴨川沿いのこの桜道、何度見ても鮮やかでうつつくしいです。
あっという間に終わってしまった桜の季節、まだまだという余韻が残っています。

Suas fotografias são um espetáculo visual.
Bom fim de semana!
Beijinhos.

What a good idea you had to slip out for a walk. I love the beautiful cherry blossoms you saw. We live in a very old apple orchard and there is one tree I have found that has a darker reddish-pink bud and a pink blossom when all the others are white. I like this tree very much even though it doesn't give good apples any more.
この間ヘアーサロンで家庭画報をみていたら、京都の桜名所を紹介してました。その中に半木の桜もありました。鴨川べりにあったのですね。きれいなピンク色のしだれですね。
再生工場の門前の桜はソメイヨシノですか？生命力の強い桜なのでしょうね。
今日の強い雨風で近くの桜は散ってしまったかな。
Dave
Thank you for the comment. I'm encouraged a lot.

やっと気温が安定してきたと思ったら、桜の時は過ぎ去ってしまっていました。ほんの束の間の饗宴でしたね。毎年観る方の感慨も違ってくるのでしょう。

Thank you for your visit. It makes me very happy.

I suppose the apple blossoms bloom as a symbole of your rejion and country. Reddish-pink flowers among white ones must be attractive. Thank you for your comment.

去年工場の前で見たのは、ソメイヨシノ。佐保川を大分下ったあたりでした。東北は今が盛りでしょうか。sarahさんあちらこちらへ見に行かれたんですね。価値ありですものね。
