carps in the river
ebi-gawa(ebi-river)

I have already showed you carp stream as " Carp stream in kindergarten".
And in this time, I show you real carps.
You can see some carps in the first photo.
Carps usually sail in water, not sky.
I took this photo by ebi-gawa ( ebi-river).

love Green, love Freedom


I took this photo in funabashi shrine around ten days ago.
Green is a symbolic colour of life and nature for me.
Those leaves of trees looks beautiful, because of sun light.
But in dark, the tree might looks a ghost.
Everyone can't live easily without sunshine.
And I can't live without freedom.
I hope blogger "A" is safe in somewhere in Iran.
