According to the Japan Meteorological Agency、Temperatures across the country today are expected to be as high as early to late April.。Snow falling from the roof in areas with heavy snowfall、Be careful of avalanches in mountainous areas (Snowmelt advisory issued for Toyama Prefecture)。The sun is warm in Kanto、Spring of Haiku (Nakaharu)、3It looks like it's going to be a perfect day for the seasonal word ``Mizu Onmu'' (around the moon).。(The landscape photo above was taken around 8am)

The Milan and Cortina Olympics are also in full swing.。It seems that the number of medals won by Japanese athletes is attracting attention from all over the world.、than the number of medals、Even at the award ceremony、even during the competition、Outside of that, Japanese players behave in a gentlemanly manner.、humane、I'm glad to hear that it seems to be getting attention as well.。

What makes the Winter Olympics interesting?、Unlike the Summer Olympics、animals other than humans don't do that。In other words, in the true sense of the word, there is play only for humans.。
For example, 100m track and field。Even if I run with a world record、Even loses to a hippopotamus (hippos are said to have a maximum speed of 40-50km/h)。Ostriches can run for hours at a speed of 70 to 90 km/h.、it is part of everyday life。In that sense、Even if you say you're the fastest in the world at the Olympics.、There is a feeling somewhere。as a human drama、land、100m swimming、It's one of the events I definitely want to see.。

The Winter Olympics involve skating on snow and ice.。Penguins and seals also slide down on the ice.、twisting and turning、I don't spin around or anything.。Let alone spinning in the air like in a half pipe.、There is no point in doing this for other animals.。Isn't it a festival of "sports" in the literal sense?。
The ultimate is curling。is somewhat similar、Killer whale targets seal on ice、All I can think of is making waves through collaboration.。

signs of spring

“Still life with pot” Watercolor + acrylic、paper
hotokenoza

the last few weeks、Somehow in the morning、I got into the habit of riding my bike for about 10km.。I used to listen to the radio for about an hour after I woke up.、It was normal to be lazy、It's strange to me that I can now get out of bed immediately even when it's cold.。

Next to the farm road that is my usual walking course、I noticed that a lot of hotokenoza were blooming.。Hotokenoza is one of the seven spring species.、It wouldn't be strange if it had already bloomed.、Didn't catch my eye。Come to think of it, Setsubun will be in a few days.。The day that separates winter and spring。The next day is the "first day of spring"。Spring is coming。Even though it's called a walk、I end up taking a bicycle walk, so I pass by quickly.。Next time, the giant dogfish will greet you with its beautiful blue-purple color.。

I painted this picture in watercolor several years ago and neglected it.。Things around the pot、I don't remember what it was anymore。But、Because it has an interesting shape、I decided to leave it as a mystery.。While preserving the watercolor color as much as possible、I layered acrylic paint。

beginning of winter

beginning of winter。According to the calendar, it's winter from today。However, since the end of last month, I've had several days where it suddenly gets cold.、It's already winter in my mood。I'm also wearing a sweater。11A few years ago, wearing a sweater on the moon would have been unthinkable.、Maybe I'm losing muscle、The heat source was also lost.。I need to do some more weight training and build some muscle.。

The start of the day、both summer and winter、Start with a warm glass of milk。Relax your hands by sketching while drinking。I want to draw a winter morning sun、I don't like getting up early。If there was snow, I could wake up before dawn.。We enter winter still missing the snow。
