Frogs and insects have collected, and during the night they sing their symphony. In the morning the pheasant crows.
All around, flowers are blooming, by the riverbanks, by the fields, and in the trees.
Crops begin to grow tall.
The rice fields are plowed, some are flooded to be pockets of lakes between buildings, reflecting the clouds by day and city lights by night.
This morning I played with little kids and made them laugh.
New words:
Kokki = (national) flag
Banri no Choujou (万里の長城) = Great Wall of China (lit. 10-thousand-league long castle)
Beautiful picture with pictures and with words. I'm loving Japan more and more, as I imagine it through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI won't be in touch for a while- I'm off to Las Vegas for 3 days.
Are the frogs like the ones in Thailand?
ReplyDeleteHahah. No, alone they do not sound like a trombone. But with combined voices they provide a chirpy hum to rival the sound of cars going over the bridge.
