sunrise on a cold winter’s day 
It wasn’t especially cold yesterday so we took a walk and stopped by the local bakery.
Here’s an iPhone that has lain on the curb near our house for some time. Somebody probably dropped it, somebody else probably run over it, somebody else found it and put it on the curb in case the owner comes looking for it, and somebody else took a picture of it.
Dried up gourds.
Somebody in our neighborhood is making pizza for take-out.
Spring is finally, irrevocably here. It looked like everybody was out today, getting some sun, walking, bicycling…
late april o early may yata pinakamagandang panahon para maglakad sa labas
bisita sa jinja sa umaga at alalahanin ang mga mahal sa buhay na nawala na
… at tignan ang mga ibon sa palayan

sabado ng umaga. instead na maglakad, nagbisikleta naman kami dahil matagal nang hindi sumasakay sa bike. tamang-taman para sa pag explore ng mga back roads na hindi ordinaryong napupuntahan.
I recently bought a second hand Canon EOS70d camera. Gusto ko lang mag try nang photography, anyway, eto yung mga kuha ko kaninang umaga sa kasumigaura park.

Walking around the neighborhood, we passed by this shrub full of blooming flowers which has a mildly fragrant smell.
My wife says it’s called サルスベリ (sarusuberi), which she thought was from “Salzberry” or something similar, but is actually from 猿滑り(monkey slide), purportedly because it has bark so smooth even monkeys would slide off it. It’s not so different from the bark of a guava tree–if you have ever climbed guava trees when you were small.
Crape myrtle, or Lagerstroemia, I learned later is the English name. I’d say the Japanese name is much more memorable.
