I love spring in Japan. I wish spring could last forever.

At the end, what remains in the folder is an image that looks like lye / 何かを呼び起こす価値のないもの At the end, what remains in the folder is an image that looks like lye.At that time, I can't remember exactly what I thought was interesting when I pointed the camera at it.

It would be easy to throw it away in my computer's trash, but I'll post it here in case I ever remember how interesting that photo was to me.

Maybe someday I'll see the scenery seen through the old glass windows and the scenes it reflects.

There is no way that the memories of things originally felt through human perception and hearing are stored in broken glass or discontinued telephones.

However, it is a great opportunity for me to imagine scenery I have never seen and to remember sounds I have forgotten.

Things that have lost their color, things that retain their color / 色を失ったもの、色を持ち続けるもの

It is said that in the past, many temples and residences of aristocrats were painted red or vermilion. It must have stood out in a landscape that was more than a thousand years old and lacked color. Today, most of the buildings of Buddhist temples have abandoned their original colors and look like black-and-white photographs. Is the reason why they haven't repainted it in its original color is because the somber monotone gives a better sense of the weight of history? Whether the shrine building is old or new, at least the torii gate has not lost its color and still has a strong presence even in modern times.

柳生街道＊夜支布山口神社（やぎゅうやまぐちじんじゃ）/ The guardian deity of Oyagyu no Sato “Yagyu Yamaguchi Shrine” 柳生街道は遊歩道が整備されていて気持ちよく歩ける。奈良県内では山の辺の道などがよく整備されていて訪れる人も多い。でも私はこの柳生街道の細い遊歩道の方が地形や景色の変化が多彩で結構好きだ。

今回は、夜支布山口神社（やぎゅうやまぐち）を起点に4キロ半ほどゆっくり歩くことにした。心臓に問題を抱える病弱な老犬とのウォーキングにはこれでも十分な距離だ。神社の社殿や境内がよく整備され清掃が行き届いているのは、その地域で大事にされている証。今は誰もいなくてひっそりとしているこの境内も、おそらく祭事ともなれば多くに人々でいっぱいになるんだろう。　狛犬が好きなので、毎度神社に行くと必ずと言ってよいほど彼らを撮影している。時代が新しくなると意匠があいまいになっているようだが、もともとは巻き髪の獅子と角のある狛犬さんのセットになっている。　そしておなじみの「あ形」と「ん形」。「あ」は一番最初、「ん」は一番最後で、阿吽（あうん）は最初から終わりで「すべて」を表すようだ。　

愛犬のおしっこで神域を汚すといけないのでずっと抱っこで境内を歩いているが、入ること自体もマナー違反だろうか？　よくわからないし、それに腕が疲れたので人が来ないうちに退散するとしよう。

A friend who has been with me for a long time / 十何年も一緒に同じ道を歩いてきた友

In human age, he would already be around 80 years old.He sleeps most of the time when he's at home.　　 He came to our house over ten years ago, and we've been walking together since he was a puppy, but before I knew it, he had passed my actual age.　　　 Even though I walk with him, he can only walks about 1 kilometer. He is always in my arms when we travel other distances.

An old dog plays in the water in a cold spring / 犬も歩けば用水路にはまる It's raining continuously in March this year. The forecast said it would be sunny for just one day, so my dog and I went looking for spring in a familiar rural landscape.

However, it is quite early to enjoy cherry blossoms. I looked around to see if there were any other flowers blooming, but I couldn't find any plants of interest. 　 While wandering through the countryside, the dog fell into an irrigation canal about 1 meter wide. Due to his age, his eyesight is poor and he tries to walk in incredible places.

I had no choice but to take some photos of the green onion field next to the rice fields and then headed home for the day. When I get home, I wash my dog.

A house built on top of a huge stone wall / 石垣の壁と生きる家　 I drove a lot on the national highway in the mountains. I saw a nice old house, so I parked there and looked at it across the valley.What is even more surprising is the majesty of the stone wall that rises between the riverbed and the houses several dozen meters below.I don't think this is public construction.What kind of history does this usually quiet mountain valley and private houses have?

Comfort trip with a 15 year old toy poodle / 慰安旅行 The mild warmth of spring has finally arrived. So the handsome guys (my dog and I) took two days off and went on a short trip.　　 My dog happily ran through the pines on the beach. And he attained his enlightenment on the mountain. We had a very meaningful short vacation.

奈良市田原（たわら）地区その2 Tawara town Nara city ＃2 カテゴリ：どっかの景色さて、茶畑のかなりの急斜面を登る。振り向くとこんな景色が広がっている。昭和も終わりに近づいた頃、この茶畑に新しい品種を植えようとしていた農家の方が、この場所で偶然発見した・・・

太安万侶（おおのやすまろ）さんは、飛鳥から奈良時代にかけて生きておられた貴族。でも、このお墓↓が発見されるまでは「もしかしたら架空の人物かも・・・」という話もあったらしい。　最も有名な実績は、日本人なら誰でも知っている（ちょっと忘れかけていたけど）あの書物。７１２年に天皇に献上された「古事記（こじき）」は安万侶によって編纂された日本最古の歴史書。また「日本書紀にも絡んでいた」という説もあるようだ。　大きな山茶花の花以外はさしたる華やかさもない日当たりだけが良い茶畑の一角に作られた墓には、火葬された骨・真珠などが収められた木櫃や銅製の墓碑が穴に入れられて炭を詰めた形で見つかった。発見されたのは1979年（昭和54年）のことだ。　墓の説明板やWikipediaでその場学習する。またYoutubeには発見当時のニュース映像などがアップされていて「ああ、まさにここじゃん」とヘンな納得をながらひと時を過ごす。　　さて、来たのとは違う道でクルマまで戻ろう。ところで、先ほどから葉のない木ばかり撮っている気がする。埼玉におられる私の師匠の頭部と同じようで違う。冬の裸樹にはなにか味わいを感じる。（共感はなかなかしてもらえないが）　上に伸ばし横に拡げた枝には、なにか意志のようなものを感じる。風雨や日照りや重力に堪え何十年も何百年も生きてきた姿がそれ。古事記という一粒の種は、千数百年の時を経て、われわれ日本人のなかにどんな根や枝を張ってきたのだろうか。

奈良市田原（たわら）地区その１ Tawara town Nara city ＃１カテゴリ：どっかの景色

東大寺や春日大社がある奈良市街の東側（奈良盆地の東の壁）は春日山から続く急な登りの山地帯になっている。その山を越え平らに開けた場所が田原（たわら）地区で、戸数８００弱の美しい村が広がっている。

田園と茶畑が広がり、ワンコとのんびり散歩するのにちょうどよい場

時折吹き抜ける風は少し肌寒いが、歩く道のあちこちに春が顔を出し始めるこの季節はなかなか楽しいものだ。　ここらへんはスイセンも花にはまだ早いようだ。関係ないかもしれないが、びっしり密集したスイセンの葉っぱにこの土地の豊かさを感じてしまう。

たいへん静かな小さな村だが、地理的には奈良市街JR奈良駅から直線距離でわずか５キロメートルの場所。歴史的にみると奈良時代、都との関係も深かったようだ。　

ちょうど、これから向かおうとしている場所も、その時代に編纂された日本人なら誰もが知っているあの書物に関係している。目的の茶畑はもう近い。

I felt someone's eyes on me in the winter-dead grass. His eyes shine and it's as if he has a will. In a few months he will be hidden again in the thick grass. Will we be able to meet here again next winter?

After a few days of spring weather, the season turned back to winter. It is raining from time to time from the dark sky today. Meanwhile, my dog, on a whim, invites me out for a walk.

I found Japanese andromeda (Ashibi) flowers starting to bloom next to the path I was walking with heavy steps. This tree is often found in Nara Park (Japan), which is famous for free-ranging deer. This tree is poisonous, so deer will avoid it and eat other trees. Sasanqua flower(Sazanka) has delighted our eyes with its red flowers during the cold winter. However, as spring approaches, they sense that their turn is coming to an end and scatter their petals on the ground. The season oscillates between winter and spring, but it seems like the colors of spring are steadily increasing.

The cold and harsh winter will soon be coming to an end. My dog was admitted to the veterinary hospital last month with a heart valve problem.

This family has been living with us for over 16 years, and now they no longer look like a cute toy poodle, but instead look like a grumpy old man.

To comfort him, my dog and I are planning a short trip in the spring. I think it would be nice to spend a relaxing time looking at the calm spring sea.

Red woolen hats hand-knitted by someone

I walked along a path through a winter bamboo thicket with poor color saturation. Along the path, I came across a red color that caught my eye. It seems like someone knitted a hat out of red wool and put it on the stone Buddha standing in the cold sky, thinking it would be cold. Someone who knows the other person's pain, or someone who can empathize with the other person's feelings even if they haven't experienced it. If the earth were filled with such people, there would be no wars or conflicts.

気が付けば望遠レンズって使い方をしらないじゃないか・・・Skills and knowledge that are familiar to me but that I know very little about.

February means the beginning of signs of spring in Japan. The past few days have been as sunny as April, and this difference in temperature can be a big burden on our aging bodies.

However, it's not healthy to stay at home in such nice weather.So, I decided to take a leisurely walk along the river with my elderly dog, who suffers from a heart condition, to enjoy the early spring.

I remembered the existence of an almost unused small mirrorless camera that I had purchased to attend a camera class, and decided to carry it with me this time.

Also, for decades I only took photos near the field of view of smartphone. I've never thought that a telephoto lens is necessary, so I don't know much about how to take pictures with it. So, I took out the telephoto zoom (equivalent to 70mm-200mm) that came with this camera from the box and installed it.

I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to learn how to use a telephoto lens little by little.

The distant image captured by the telephoto lens is displayed on the camera's LCD monitor, but with my farsightedness I can barely see what it looks like.

Since I have to check their images on my computer monitor when I get home, I feel like I won't have to forget the photos I took and leave them on the SD card.

Scenery along a local train２　ローカル鉄道沿いの景色２ "What an uninteresting sight." When I'm walking around thinking this, I can't seem to reach for my camera.Even if the weather is bad or the surroundings are full of garbage and junk, if I find something interesting, my finger will automatically press the shutter button on the camera. 　 It would be great if a third party who saw such a photo thought it was interesting.It's not so much because I want people to praise my photos, but because I can share my feelings about why they took the photo.

Scenery along a local train 1　ローカル鉄道沿いの景色１

Midwinter holiday, I walked with my dog along the promenade along the single-car local train that runs through the valley.

The promenade was in the shade, so the water that seeped to the surface was frozen.

Still, my dog and I cheerfully continue down the path.

Diesel passenger cars passing by from time to time (four per hour) make a loud noise that is unbecoming of this quiet valley.
