Kawazu-zakura

Kawazu-zakura is a kind of cherry blossom that blooms in winter.
It has beautiful pink petals.

I took these photos today.
It has not been in full bloom yet, but I was moved by beauty of the blossom.

River Mouse in Winter

I took these photos at mouse of ebi-gawa ( ebi-river ) yesterday.
In winter, we can see many waterfowls there.
I like watching those lovely birds.


In the photo above, you can see ducks putting their head into water to take small fishes.



And a heron walks very slowly.

Funabashi fishing port is one of my favorite place in this city.
When I visit there at dusk, I'm in a nostalgic world.
