The cherries set well on the tree ✨

Monday morning was one of sudden changes in the weather, when drenching showers rushed across the sky chased by dazzling autumn sunshine, which lasted only a few minutes before it, too, fled away to the east, pursued by huge black clouds lit up from time to time by a beautiful rainbow.

Algy hopped up into the wee cherry tree by the feeder for his smaller fluffy friends, and revelled in a short-lived burst of golden light. This poor wee tree had struggled for many years to grow in the challenging local conditions, and it was rare that it held its leaves long enough for them to “turn”, but this year had been kinder than most, and Algy was delighted to see that for once it had a chance to display its glorious autumn colours.

From time to time a golden leaf fluttered to the ground as the wee birds stocked up on supplies to get them through the chilly autumn night, and somewhere, hidden in another tree behind Algy’s head, a robin who was evidently more concerned with higher things was singing his autumn refrain:

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

[The robin is singing the poem Fall, leaves, fall by the 19th century English author Emily Brontë.]

at least my backyard is pretty

Spring is here in Butte Valley. Cherries and western redbuds in bloom.

Beginning of the end but I feel the same

桜の樹の下で今年の桜。ボール遊びをする親子、友人たちとの語らい、桜を撮るアベック。そーいえば、去年は手術になって満開の染井吉野にお目にかかれなかった。

今年の桜。

ボール遊びをする親子、友人たちとの語らい、桜を撮るアベック。

そーいえば、去年は手術になって満開の染井吉野にお目にかかれなかった。

桜並木を征く2014年、長瀞 北桜通り。もう少し北の方には桜トンネルになっているところもある長瀞の北桜通り。この辺りもなかなかの桜の枝っぷり。

憩いの堤2011年、赤羽桜堤緑地。重い思いの場所でお花見を楽しむ人々。今ではこのような光景は懐かしく思える、と思ったけど一昨年あたりに某所は普通にお花見してたなあw。

In my stories, Porashon is a mountainous nation inhabited by a beautiful race of pink-haired tree people. They are known for being very intelligent, smart enough to preserve technology that is more advanced than their neighbours.

And who else would be more fitting for this pink people than ponies? More precisely, Bubble Berry and Pinkie Pie, since they look better together.

Also, let’s make the ponies a prince and a princess! (the Pallava text on the tree reads “Namaskāra”/นมัสการ, a formal word that means “salutations”)
