The season oscillates between winter and spring / 馬酔木と山茶花
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.
