Contentment and Tenderness

My husband and I have been searching for a new house or apartment to live with my mother. Recently my mother feels uneasy without us often and we have put the priority to take care of her and to find a new place.  To spend more time with her is happy for us and to search for the new places is exciting for us, but  I have had less time to take photos or post blogs.  I have no way except posting a new one occasionally or simpler one for a while.  Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and leaving heartwarming comments.

I do not know when summer had gone and autumn came.  Not yet autumn leaves, but wind  and sunset tell me transparent autumn is here.

 When wind blows,  silver grasses bow.  

They are shining in the early sunset.

Young sunset over Great Buddha Hall.

Over the five storied pagoda.

 Nara is a blaze in the sunset.

I love gold waves of paddy fields.  Contentment and tenderness of autumn.

  

 I don't know the names of grasses but they are beutiflly shinning.

Who Has Seen the Wind?

by Christina Rosetti

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling,

The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I:

But when the trees bow down their heads,

The wind is passing by.

Reflection, Which One Do You Like?

This is the sunset that  I viewed  in Osaka. Every second, the town  was changing its face. Which one do you like the best?

                                                        

Reflection, Center of Ancient Japan

 A gentle sunset reflects on the rails of the ancient Imperial Audience Hall.
 Once upon a time Nara had been  the capital of Japan for a short period、from 710 to 784. Imperial Audience Hall was the center of the capital. Here the emperors reigned over Japan. The hall  was rebuilt in 2010.

The Capital was called "Heijo-kyo" whose Palace Site is designated as World Heritage Site. This place is my favorite and  especially I love viewing a sunset from here.
