Is she walking alone? or are you following her? or perhaps is she talking with someone who stands behind a hedge?
ひとりで歩いているのか、あるいはあなたが追いかけているのか、ひょっとして生垣の影の誰かと話をしているのか?
A Part of Mostly Monochrome Monday
capturing in prose

One of ideas to escape to a far away place from a daily life is to imagine with a help of histories. It’s a bit early for me to go for vacation this year, I decided to go to a historical place just for walking down an ancient path. Fortunately, it was not so far from my house in terms of spatial distance but was far from the present day in terms of temporal distance.

Another idea is to visit a port nearby to see boats, especially ocean liners. Fortunately Yokohama bay is not so far and I visit there frequently as a part of daily life.

However, needless to say, the best way to break the routine should be visiting a new place where you have never imagine. The last one was taken at 2000km south from my town in spring break time. Still I was in Japan but everything was more or less different. As you see, palm trees grow wild, as you may imagine, strange sounds from nature are there.

情熱的な真紅の花弁に見惚れていると、もう先終わろうとする茶色の混じった白や透き通る緑を忘れてしまいそう。夏本番になって、写真のような咲き乱れる春の名残もそろそろ終わり。大好きな百日紅と夾竹桃のピンクを楽しむ時期がやってくる。
さて、次はどこに行こうかなと考えてはみるが、住んでる横浜だって遠くから観光客が訪ねてくる場所なんだから自宅でのんびりしているだけで贅沢なのだろうと、心にもないことを独りごちる。そんなことを逡巡しているだけで、立派な”Wanderlust“。
