（９８）　Ｍｓ．　Ｍｅｒｃｉ’ｓ　Ｗｉｎｔｅｒ　Ｐｒｏｍｅｎａｄｅ

There is a song written by Simon and Garfunkel. The original title is "A Hazy Shade of Winter", which means a hazy winter sky. I imitated it and wrote "Winter Promenade"

This song is about the winter of life, that is, the elderly people, who look back on their hopes and dreams when they were young. It's a song that the elderly, like me, will sympathize with.

Hopes and dreams, however, cannot be expressed in photographs, so I’ll post some pictures of me taking a walk.

There are no big flowers on the winter promenade, but if you look closely, you will find small, cute ones.




The camellia flowers are in bloom above me. The scattered petals are also beautiful.



Pansies are one of the few flowers that bloom even in winter.


The blue fruits are falling. Looking up, the nuts are red. When they fall, the color seems to change.


Hades is a member of the cabbage family, and is not a flower, but a beautiful leaf. It seems that the breed was improved in the middle of the Edo period.


The acorns that fell in the fall still remain. Probably because there are no squirrels around here.


The pink leaves are beautiful.



The snow that fell the other day still remains.
