Meanwhile the snowdrops are blooming in the woods where they were planted long ago. I always forget how many there are.

'24.3.17 飛火野、春日野園地、水谷茶屋周辺にて

奈良はお水取りが終わった途端、日中の気温が20℃近くに。まさに春を呼ぶと言われるお水取りのこの実力･･。

でも木々はまだ沈黙の時期。ですが枝先などにじわっと少しずつ春の準備を行っているようです。

もう少しすれば、木々は花や新緑を盛大に纏い、饒舌に春を語り始めることでしょう･･僕もそれを待っています。

Winter slowly, slowly melting into spring.

Ark from a leaves. Now, it is start of spring. And a little like autumn. Mood.

Mood of late autumn. A little dark. But it is light, yet. Park. Leaves don’t fall. And will never fall. But will stay as a dark yellow. Ark. In someway, this way, it is a mood of cold wave – I like autumn. A little of cold wind to blow. A front cover for coldwave album. Gothic album.

Gothic autumn. Autumn. As art idea. Photo itself is made in late winter. I like idea of frozen autumn as synthpop, darkwave, gothic, coldwave, synthesizers music group. And I start to think about different groups. Gothic by sound. I like song Cure - Friday I am in love. Typical gothic rock sound like Clan of Xymox, Sisters of Mercy. So, I can think that this photo can be a front cover for such music albums. When I see it – I think about it. So, I am about a freeze autumn. Frozen Autumn – it is a cold wave group.

Counting buds on shrubs,

looking for returning birds,

taking it all in,

finding hope for spring flowers,

making plans for the summer.
