5月18日プチツーリングのため仕事はお休み~
って、人が集まらなく、中止?と思っていたけど無事決行^^
そのかわり?早朝になった~早起きは苦手だ
朝、6時半に集合・・5時半には起きねば・・
0時に寝て・・4時半に目覚めた~
遠足が楽しみな子供か?と、思った(笑
Hokkaido is well known for its excellent agricultural products.
Asparagus is one of the vegetables Hokkaido boasts, and it is now in season.
Fresh asparagus that is sweet and with crunchy texture is fit for any recipe. I particularly like "asparagus & bacon" that is sliced asparagus and bacon are fried in the pan.
It is needless to say that Hokkaido's butter, also famous for its quality, makes the taste better When you fry the ingredients.
Some "Izakaya", Japanese style pubs have asparagus & bacon in their menu. Please try if you have chance.
連休中、バイトの合間をぬってバイクに乗った
先月、ニセコにボード行った時、きのこ王国を発見!
帰りに寄ってみよう!と思ったけど帰りが遅く・・
王国は終わっていた・・(涙
In contrast to cherry blossoms in full bloom warming our hearts, it has been a spell of unusual cold weather here in Otaru.
Today, normal spring weather has come back again!
Flowers look very happy in the sunshine.
I could not help taking more photos of cherry blossoms to have the people from countries with no cherry trees enjoy the beauty of them on my website.
Cherry blossoms season is very short, and they can be seen only once a year.
Many Japanese people seem to think vaguely how many more times they will be able to see cherry blossoms in the future as they get older.
やっと春らしく暖かくなってきた
風はまだまだ冷たいけど・・
と、いうことで、そろそろPolepoleも冬眠から覚めねば・・
まだ冬眠してたのかい!?状態(笑
Otaru's cherry blossoms are at their best now.
You can see cherry blossoms everywhere in the city.
Since the color and the figure of the blossoms are slightly different depending on the species of cherry trees, it is really fun to take a stroll searching for varieties.
In addition to cherry blossoms, plum blossoms that are also pale pink are in full bloom,too. The whole city looks to be tinted in pink.
