Proverb 64

2005-11-23 | proverb

Pyracantha;(Firethorn)

 Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

I don't know  what this proverb is saying well, but I think it means that we should  do our best to anything that we are going to do.



 


 


 

 


Ducks in the pond

2005-11-21 | scenery

 We see many many ducks in the pond near my house.
I don't know where they came from.
I saw them last Saturday too while I was taking a walk.
And I saw some people near the pond feeding them the other day.


 During the summer season, this pond was filled with a kind of floating grass.
The grasses covered the surface of water too much, so many fish in the pond died from shortage of oxygen.

Now there is no grass on the water and the water is very clear.

 It stands on the hill and have very big space.
Number of exhibition works is very large; 'more than 1000 pieces' and it takes a few hours to look at all of them.
Though all of the pictures are not the real ones but copied ones, we can enjoy the world's famous pictures from the old days to recent times.

A day trip 2

 We arrived at a hotel where we ate lunch after we went  shopping to a souvenir shop about eleven o'clock.
The view from the building was very nice.
I could see A-wa-ji-shi-ma in the distance. 

As lunch was smorgasbord , I ate too much !

There were nice paper- lanterns in the room.
Tokushima is famous for A-wa-o-do-ri, so the design of the picture was like this.

After  lunch, we left for 'The Otsuka Museum of Art ' near this hotel .
The museum was the destination of this trip.
