繻子（しゅす）蘭 / Rattlesnake plantain

繻子蘭が咲きそうだ

cute bud on the bookshelf。The velvety, glossy black leaves are a satin orchid.。Initially the size of a fist、2It was a small plastic potted plant that cost ~300 yen.、It has grown quite large in a few years、It started sticking out from the shelf.。

get in the way、When I think about letting go、As if I could see through it, I swelled up some pretty buds.。Just a color scheme。A slightly reddish bud rests on a maiden's slender white neck.。Before long, the white cross flower quietly opens.。Underneath it is a pile of black satin.、Vertical striped costume。

I don't take much care of plants.。Because I'm busy、just look。Literally “keep an eye on” = care、It may be that you are doing。There are two cacti about 5cm in diameter near the window.、I've been on the verge of death since last summer, but somehow I'm still alive.。a discarded pot、I brought it because it was no good.。The one that had completely dried out in the heat.、This time it's winter chill、The water inside is freezing。I'm heartless、At most, just cover it with a plastic bag at night.。For some reason, I don't keep it in the same place as the satin orchid.。

die or live、Give only the bare minimum of moisture and warmth、observing the results。I don't know what your intentions are, but。

体験が大事 / Experience is first

fine ice。Red is cyclamen petals

Cold waves continue to cover the whole country。This cold wave is on a completely different level than before.。Not only was the amount of snow that fell on the 21st a record in the Kanto region,、The snow quality was also comparable to ski resorts (in the Kanto region).。when it's raining、This is kind of amazing、I was feeling it。

On top of that、With the continuing cold wave、Despite the sunny weather every day、In the shade, the snow just hardens、It never melts。Today, a full week has passed since the heavy snowfall.、Even if I warm up the area near the faucet with boiling water, not a single drop of water still comes out.。A bucket of ice was placed under it (photo)、When I measured it, the thickness was close to 17cm.。36 years since moving to Saitama、I've never seen ice this thick at home.。

global warming。I feel that way based on data from just the past century.、If the entire history of the earth was replaced with the entire body、I'm still just looking at the tips of my eyelashes.。science is showing great results、I don't think there will be anything else worth believing in in the future.、Still under development。We are at the stage of partially confirming the "experience" that humanity has passed through.。

danger of life、Premonition of disaster。it's not science yet、It is engraved as human (animal?) intuition in our DNA (it should be).。take care of that first。And cherish that little experience。rather than being stubborn、give a little priority。

 

 

冬が来れば思い出す

オジロワシ舞う

It's not "I'll remember it when summer comes"、When winter comes, there are many things I remember。

Footprints of animals and birds dotting the snow。After the round body of a pheasant that lands with a thud, as if crashing from the sky.。A throbbing run (sliding)、The moment of takeoff、The faint traces of the tip of a feather scratching the snow beneath the weight that finally floated。

stop、Turn around a little, as if thinking of something.、A dotted line that starts walking again。every time you step out、catch a little bit of deep snow。It rolls and leaves a faint line。The soft hollow、This shows that the fox had a brief respite there.。A small animal half buried in snow、walk in a winding manner。those images、One of the joys of winter is being able to experience the experience half as an animal.。In a thicket of shrubs that have shed their leaves、Wild pears remain undiscovered by birds.。it's a feast from heaven。
