Mostly Monochrome Monday #375


A creature that tries to pry open and eat a fruit that has thorns that prevent other creatures from eating it is not being greedy, but rather being clever, maybe.

他の生き物から食べられないようにトゲがある実をこじ開けてでも食べようとする生き物は、貪欲なのではなく、むしろ賢いのかもしれない。

Floral Friday #190


 ようやく秋らしい気候になってきたような気がしていたが、案外気候なんて相対的なものらしく、これでも本来の気候よりずっと暑いらしい。確かに、自宅では未だにTシャツに短パンで過ごしたりしている。乾燥した空気も、ちょっと上着が必要になるような寒さもない。皆が口を揃えて言う。
「この5年くらい、10月は夏だよ。大丈夫。11月になると突然冬になるから。
夏夏夏夏真夏真夏真夏夏夏夏秋冬冬真冬真冬冬冬春夏夏夏夏夏…。」
ゲシュタルト崩壊を起こしそうだ。
 そんなわけで、コスモスが夏の花なのか秋の花なのかもう分からない。早くコートを着て歩ける季節になってほしいななんて、思ってもいないことを考えたりするのが癖になった。

Bonne journée, photo challenge

Lens-Artists Challenge #317: Walking the Neighborhood


Around two years have been passed after returning back from Brittany where there was full of nature. I love both Yokohama and Brittany and I don’t want to say my preference but obviously there is a big gap between two places. My place is/was at a part of urban area and as you can easily imagine, a lot of buidings are/were still under construction. It should be unavoidable things. A big difference is that you can see big farms or forest next to the urban area still in Britanny but not in Yokohama. It would be likely to disappear even a small farm.

Yokohama is a historical town known as a place of re-opening a door of the country of Japan to other countries in 1858. There was no downtown 170 years ago. It is said that was the reason to use the place of Yokohama. Now, there seems no free spaces. around 3 milllion people live there. It should be too huge number.
