Sakura matsuri
さまざまのこと思い出す桜かな
Samazama no koto omoidasu sakura ka na
(Is it a cherry blossom that reminds me of various things?)
- Bashô Matsuo
In Japan, in late March and early April, they celebrate the Sakura matsuri, or cherry blossom festival.
All eyes will be on the light pink florets as they fill the city sidewalks, public parks, and temple gardens with quivering bursts of color in the gentle breeze of early spring. Picnicking under the blossoms is an ancient tradition. Then, all too soon, the petals begin to fall, and the scene becomes a distant memory.
One explanation of Bashô’s haiku is that he is recalling that he abandoned the way of samurai and decided to live the way of haiku. Or simply that cherry blossoms encourage random thoughts.
The sibilant repetition of the “s” and “z” sounds (samazama, omoidasu, sakura). The repeated consonants of “k” (koto, sakura, kana) produce a melodic sound to Bashô’s phrase.
“Do you remember many things?” is today’s colloquial understanding of the phrase.
A more literal translation is, “Various things, they call to mind, ah, cherry blossoms !”
A section of the previous iceberg reveals a uniquely shaped portion of the berg. This was thought to resemble a whale's tail. Of course, the entire visit to Twillingate left us with a whale of a tale.

The Long Corridor is a covered walkway in the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The total length of the Long Corridor is 728 metres and it is decorated with more than 14,000 paintings, especially on the ceiling and its beams, which divide it into 273 sections. Along the corridor there are four octagonal pavilions. Each of these pavilions symbolises the four climatic seasons of the year. The more than 14,000 paintings have a wide variety of subjects: historical figures, famous buildings, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects... Of particular importance are those depicting folk and traditional tales, fables and episodes from classical Chinese literature. As a part of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December, 1998.
There is no doubt that the Long Corridor is a beautiful place during the day. But it is at night, with the arrival of darkness and the lighting of the chinese lanterns, that it reaches its true splendour, creating a special atmosphere and transforming into a long, luminous and sinuous thread in the midst of the darkness. It is at night when it becomes a magical place, where stories, tales, fables, imagination... come to life and arise. Dreams and tales, in the middle of the night and darkness.

En el silencio sin aliento de las 4 a.m., en la oscuridad se encuentra un triste cliché envuelto en el azul marino de las estrellas que se desvanecen lentamente. Dime cómo llegó ésto a ser.
.....
Duérmete y cállate, cariño. Es hora de dormir, hora de apagar la luz. Dulces sueños te esperan tras tus ojos cerrados y una manta de noche, donde las chinches no pican. Duérmete y calla hasta la mañana. Has dicho todas tus oraciones, és hora de hacerlas realidad. No te preocupes, tu papi está aquí, si lo necesitas esta noche. Tranquiliza tu mente. Descansa tus ojos y duerme bien.
Two wooden houses crowned with snow
stand softly in the morning glow.
A lone small bird, with gentle grace,
perches there to warm the place.
It keeps the secrets of the cold,
the whispered tales the frost has told.
In stillness deep, it waits and hears
the quiet footsteps of the year.
And though the world lies white and bare,
a tender warmth is resting there —
for even in the frozen air,
one tiny heart brings hope to share.
Freedom is not free....!
Have a great day guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

Happy Wing Wednesday!
Mallard ducks do make me laugh. We have a pair that visit our yard quite a lot , swimming in our flooded lawn. Even without the spring flood, we often get a pair visiting.

There’s something undeniably enchanting about stepping away from the predictable red roses and heart-shaped clichés of Valentine’s Day and embracing an elegant, ethereal white-themed celebration instead.
A secluded dock stretching over a tranquil pond, draped in cascading white wisteria gently swaying in an afternoon breeze. At its centre, the beautiful rustic natural wood dining table from CHEZ MOI, Gracie Dining Table, adorned with a simple vase of freshly picked wisteria blossoms, setting the scene for an intimate dinner.
Perfect for after dinner or dessert, the inviting Jessa bed set from BAZAR rests beneath a stunning lit white tent—a dreamy retreat where pages turn as effortlessly as the evening breeze.
Whether sharing favorite passages, getting lost in a beloved novel, or simply enjoying the quiet companionship of books and each other, this serene escape makes for a Valentine’s Day far more poetic than any bouquet of roses could ever offer.

I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and
magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything
can happen. Frogs can be kings, a thicket of brambles can
hide a castle where a royal court has lain asleep for a
hundred years, a boy can outwit a giant, and a girl can
break a curse with nothing but her courage and steadfastness.

One of Sweden’s many trail huts, free to use, fully equipped, and open to all. Part of the country’s amazing outdoor culture, where nature is for everyone and safety comes built in :-). Loved taking a break here, a perfect spot to relax on a hiking day.
