Sulfureous Cosmos (Jul. 21, 2010)


Dear Stephanie

I like to take photos using the backlight effectively as you know. I tried that this time. This is a sulfureous cosmos. You can see them wherever you go here in Sugeo at this time. I put it in a little glass bottle, that I love and placed it by the sliding window screen. It was 9:02 when the sun was shining outside. I cut out the moment. You can see the bamboo forest through the screen. The rainy season is over and summer is just beginning to run. So it is not so hot yet. The flower will sure relieve you. I will devote this photo to you with my love.

Rain in the Back Yard (Jul. 11, 2010)


Dear Stephanie

You see the rain falling in the back yard. It is now the rainy season in Japan. But it will be over soon. The rainy season usually starts in June and is over in mid July. The wet green leaves are those of a Judas tree. It comes into flower in March or April, but just flowers. After all the flowers are gone, leaves come out just like cherry trees do. Anyway this rain is blessing of God for all the plants and farmers. I am looking at the rain from the window of my room. It is getting hard. What you can see in the center is chestnuts and behind them is Japanese cedar grove.
Falling rain, falling rain Wash away everything sorrow you have
Falling rain, falling rain Bring back everything happy you had
Falling rain, Falling rain Be sure to make you merry and happy

Love
Terry
