Apple orchard -flower season-

There are lots of apple orchards in Morioka 
All orchards are filled with white blossoms in this season 
When I woke up and visited orchard with sunrise,  farmers have already started working





Waiting for bee 








Imagine this autumn.....if all these flowers bear fruits  







 Blossoms in the morning 






Color of blossoms are different from each tree
Some are white and others are light pink







Sun bath 








Flow of life 






Grow high
All apple trees are cut in same height 








Origin of fruit 







Around the orchard 




Drew of leaves

Last morning for weeds
When I went today morning,  all weeds were cleaned up

Place

I sometime loose my direction and wonder whether I am thinking in a right way or not 
Sometimes I get worried by loosing my position in this world 
What I am doing, why I am doing

At such times, I walk around forest 
I feel relief and clam to see everything behaving the way they are 





Forest 




Old bike in the forest 





Vines trapped my legs and I made lots of scratches on my legs 





Momiji






Even this flower is beautiful, all these flowers were blooming facing down





Yamabuki 






Breath of spring




After rain
This picture was taken on the other day
Shiroyanagi was full of drops and it was shining beautifully

Cloudy Sunday in May

It was a cloudy Sunday and I did not have a special plan 
I ate a big pancake, went to antique market 
cleaned room and took a walk 
Calm and nice Sunday 





Met a bee on a apple flower 






Finally, apple flowers started to bloom
I hope nice weather will come before they fall down

A hovel in a orchard 1
By the time  half finished cleaning my room, sunset was over
I quickly took my camera and went outside







A hovel in orchard 2
It seems the hovel is happy after the heavy snow and  being surrounded by new leaves and flowers
 

















Third Sunday Antique market
A man was selling his stuff in front of one of the eldessake breweries







Kimono seller in a garage 









A man was selling old coins  










Today's extra photo
Something that I want to share.......
Attachment
They were supposed to be two carrots but it seems they could not separate

I found this saucy carrot in the market
An old woman who was selling carrots gave it to me as a memory

Cloudy afternoon -break with sheep-

While I was walking outside after the experience, I had a call from my sister
I do not usually come close to sheep barn 
but without thinking anything, I was in front of sheep 
While talking, I took some portraits of sheep 





I wonder whether she is happy with this forelock 





I felt a similar aspect between sheep and dog when I saw her
But apparently she was ruminating 







Amiable sheep








I know a person like her 








When I looked into her eye, I was measuring the angle of her pupil and  pole of fence
They are quite horizontal 






After clash
Before it started rain, I found violets that looked like they had fight 






Taking care of old lady
Blue part of violet looks like mustache of old lady as I stare violets for long time
These violets looks like a young girl saying into old big lady's ear  





Tsutsuji
Season is changing from spring to summer  










Boke
I came across to this strong red flower 






Momiji
Momiji turns into red in autumn but new leaves are also red
Rare to see such a reddish place in spring 








 Following photos are extra photos that I want to share


Droplets of yogurt
It seems droplets have their own rule to line up 





Droplets of yogurt
When I opened the cover of yogurt in the morning,
I found that there are full of droplets on the cover
I was satisfied with the fine fermentation of yogurt and small discovery

Hasakura

Season has moved from Sakura to more white and greenish world
 Unseasonal sakura is called "hasakura".
"Ha" means leaf and Hasakura represents the greenish pink sakura tree 
Morioka is in middle of spring and lots of flowers are blooming 
It seems this blog will be occupied by flowers for a while 
Hopefully you can see the changes of season and imagine the smell of spring






Last day of full bloom sakura
Until the day, weather was cold so sakura lasted for long time
Sakura looked brighter under the unexpected sunset  





Sunset 
It was raining whole day and suddenly sun appeared between the thick clouds 








Looking up







Cloudy but bright morning








Field full of daffodils and yellow flowers 








Lonely tulip
One red tulip was blooming in the middle of the field
The flower was not special but I could not ignore her bravery


































Botann sakura: Big gorgeous flowers 
























Yukiyanagi












Good weather
Lot's of birds were flying between trees and dropping flowers on the ground 








Middle of spring 






Flowers were captured in the corner of the lake








Sakura road
