First Week– Done!
Finished my first week of working in Gifu Prefecture.
Tomorrow I have some plans to go to a cherry blossom festival with some coworkers. Then, Monday, I’ll meet some friends to celebrate the Buddha’s birthday. Somewhere in there I need to remember to do my laundry…
Gifu Cheerful Cherry Blossoms
It’s been surprisingly chilly out recently. The wind has also been rather blustery, adding to the chill. Because of this, this year’s blossoms are a bit late.
Tokyo and other cities have reported that their trees started blossoming at the end of March. I hope ours do so soon.
Glimpse
Through the maple leaves, we can just see a hit of a waterfall hidden behind.

Another shot of the maple leaves at Tokugawa Gardens.
Twining
There is a small park in Southern Yono.
In that park, there are some benches.
Above the benches, there is an overhang made of metal, leaves and branches.
Attached to those leaves are twisting, turning, climbing trees.
Next to those trees, there are stone pillars.
Standing against those pillars is a figure.
That figure is me.
