Such lovely hues at twilight do call to mind Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away.
Agree with your little one that our inquisitive gentleman there could be a character himself.

Heartbreaking. Japan can do much better for those we’ve chosen to shepherd here. Live up to your responsibilities and do not abandon the helpless.

Thank you for your lovely sunflower poem, Mr. starpunk. Flowers are nature fireworks. There as now many azaleas in bloom across Japan. Would love to read more.

Yes, Japan is beautiful!! We have such lovely floral displays across the entire country.
Japan should once again open to all tourists and, most importantly,
open to all those seeking refuge from turmoil abroad.
Wishing peace, love and prosperity to all who come here.

That lovely story above of India’s great past is also quite beautiful. There’s a multitude of histories and customs here and shows we can all have similar ideas care for our communities and share this earth.
Let’s work toward a great peace and abundance for all from now.

Lovely irises, sir but beg to differ. Hay fever in Japan is also from our flowering plants and grasses, not just our trees. We suffer with all but still very much love our nature.
