brief vacation

201808-211

I’ve reached a point of saturation
and missed to find my way out.
Now I’m away on brief vacation
and going to give exultant shout.

なんだか手詰まり感で
出口を見失い、
今や束の間の休憩に
歓喜の叫びをあげようとする。

Half off line for a while because it was the 1000th post.
千回目のポストに、ここしばらくは休暇をとって、少しばかりオフライン気味。

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

201407-summerlovin03Clear blue sky, vivid flowers, hot and humid air, it is the typical summer day in Yokohama. A crape myrtle, I posted a picture of on last Wednesday, is my most favorite summer flower and it tells a really hot days.

My home town was, so to say, a high-way of thunderstorm. Everyday in summer, I heard a sound of thunderbolt and smelled at the storm. Different from my home town, there are few chances of thunderbolts in Yokohama. Instead, I sometimes enjoy vices of cicadas like I did in childhood. Last night, I took some pictures of an eclosion of a cicada.

It is always exciting moment to see the wonder of nature.
Also it is always fun to harvest summer vegetables which soak up the summer.

and one of the pleasures of the summer would be coming at evening, end of the hot day.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Containers

201407-011Looking into the small white box in a rainy day, it seemed a container of bright sunny days; dazzling reflection from the sea, colourless fragments of the sea shore and uncertain memories inside the box.

201407-010Where shall we go this summer? This slightly pitted old suitcase takes me to an imagination of coming summer vacation. Still rainy.

If you want to open the container of sunny days, I thought, it must be bright, taken with high-key expression.
