#017 flower ( Dandelion タンポポ : #03 weed)

Flower of dandelion is a symbol of Spring in Japan.
We can see several race of Dandelion in our garden.
It's Tanpopo in Japanese. I like to pronounce Tanpopo.

#016 flower ( Swamp chrysanthemum : #06 common flower )

The plants bloom at same place alike last year. I like the rustic flower. The earthquake caused liquefaction failure at Urayasu city in Kanto area. Many houses and power poles leaned, and there are many displaced persons in the city. In contrast, it enter the first stages of recovery now at Tsunami afflicted area.

#015 flower ( Cleyera japonica : #04 Ikebana)

We have still difficulty with the nuclear in Fukushima Prefecture.

And a high amount of radiation was detected in the sea around.

#015 flower ( Cleyera japonica : #06 common flower )

This is 榊(sakaki).

Sakaki (榊) is the tree for Gad.

God help the afflicted peoples!

Tanigaki san, you lack a quality as politician.

Please leave the parliament house of Japan.

Photography event #02 ( 近所で撮影会 )

This landscape is scenery of around our house.

AyeYai took me out to here which is far one 1,000 meters from our house.

That is one of photography event for here in the early morning.

It was still a wintry today morning. According to weather forecast on TV, it will be snowing at the afflicted area.

#004 Life ( #1 Mammal Mole モグラ 土竜）

What are these? These are signs of a mole.

I came up against a mole on my garden two years ago.
But the mole passed away after a few days.
Moles didn't care the biggest earthquake, I think.

#014 flower ( Daphne odora 沈丁花 : #04 Ikebana)

Some vegetables became contaminated by radiation dust since several days ago.

Unfortunately the radiation dust become diffuse, and come at Tokyo area today.

Spring Equinox Day ( visting a grave ： お墓参り)

It's Spring Equinox Day today which is national holiday.
Our Japanese always visit a grave around this day.
I and AyeYai visited two grave in our city rainy today.

This is the grave of my parents and elder brother.

Here is the grave of her mother who die last year.


Her mother's grave is in this temple


We can see plum blossoms here.

Spring has come!
We did do this event on foot, It took three hours.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to afflicted people who lost their families.

#013 flower ( White Japanese Camellia : #05 common flower )

The camellia is in our garden.

Tanigaki san, there is something wrong in your statement.

Are you member of the Diet and Politician for people?

I don't understand why Kan san asked Tanigaki san for being Deputy prime Minister for disaster of the earthquake.

Tanigaki san said "No", and "I am willing to cooperate" at that time.

You should say that we have to do extend a helping hand to the sufferers as early as possible.

Please do your first mission for them at once at this moment!

Now there are many great persons who put their life in danger at the nuclear power station.

#012 flower ( Pink Japanese Camellia : #03 Ikebana)

This flower was from my elder sister's garden as cut Camellia flower.

There is white Japanese Camellia in my garden.

The time of bloom of it is later than last year.

Pull up the weeds

The picture is a landscape before pull up the weeds.

This one is the landscape after pull up the weeds.

I expect that some potatoes will come up at this area.

The planned outage ( Light source without dry cell)

We had the planned outage tonight because of electricity shortage for the Great Thohoku-Kanto Earthquake.

These are two kind of light sources without dry cell in the following picture.
Left one is a light of solar power, and right one is a light of human power .

We used the light of solar power in our living room instead of a candle for the planned outage tonight. It should be in our garden as a small outdoor light under normal circumstances.

Another one was used for reading a book as table lamp.
We can generate electric power to turn out the handle of the right one.

We will have two times planned outage every day in the future.

Tanigaki san, quit as leader of your LDP (Liberal Democrtic Party)

and please leave the parliament house of Japan.

When I heard Tanigaki's political comments on TV.
I feel anger over his comments at every moment
The TV might edit the comments.
But it doesn't seems that his comments are for us, nation.
It's only your LDP every time.

Especially his comment made me to be in a towering rage on the tragic situation.
He said " I will agree with the ruling party's bill of budget for disaster of a lifetime, if it's rightness".
I think that he should say " we will work for the crisis mode together without barriers of party".

So I would argue that Tanigaki san, quit as leader of your LPD and leave the parliament house of Japan!

This fishing harbor must be attacked by the Tsunami.

Please do undertake genuine politics!

Our Japanese politician and government official do not work for public.
They are almost zombie body like these Japanese silver grasses.
But these grasses will come back to life new spring.
And they will work for us every year like this.

Tohoku district of Japan had the greatest Earthquake and Tsunami on record yesterday.

So there is not a second to lose, no time to scramble political situation.

Please do undertake genuine politics, and give relief disaster victim as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the area which I live in had no damage, despite I had the biggest earthquake in my life.

I have no adequate words to express the sadness.

Landscape Planning ( Zoen 造園 庭作り )

I did replant of the American Cherry to here eighteen days ago.

And them, I came up with Landscape Planning.

I think it will take about two years to complete.

I did do that since last Sunday.
