feature in Awaji Iisland ： heartbeat of winter

 

＜　When the morning sun went up, the fishing boats which had sailed to fish began to return to port all at once.　＞

The sea of Awaji Island still offers us many blessings.

Soon, sand lance fishing starts, and then spring comes.

Although the cold of winter is the severest now, season also began approach of spring.

 

＜　The Temminck's cormorant that basked in sun is relaxing on the breakwater. ＞

Although mountain dies down in winter, many birds visit my yard and seashore.

I introduce the birds that are flying to the seashore.

Three black cormorants were profiled by the shining Osaka Bay.

 

＜　a kite and a sea gull play and fly.　＞

Kites quietly are flying high up in the air all day.

Sea gulls often are flying on the sea quickly.

For just a moment, the two birds were flying high up in the air, like an air battle.

 

＜　A sea gull is on the sea.　＞

Several sea gulls were floating on inner side sea of the breakwater.

 

＜　a plover was on the sandy beach.　＞

A plover were moving on the sandy beach busily.

  

 

＜　white narcissus　＞

The flower of the New Year beginning is a white narcissus in Awaji Island.

Tolerating the harsh winter's cold, the narcissist that grows gregariously on the cliff gives us freshness and loveliness.

  

 

＜　yellow narcissus　＞

This is a narcissus that blooms in my yard, and is one of a few flowers that bloom at winter.

 

＜　Crimson sasanqua　＞

Many sasanqua are seen and red, white, and pink flowers bloom for a long period of time.

＜　plum trees are in full bloom.　＞

If plum trees become in full bloom,

we are waiting eagerly for full bloom of cherry tree.
