Evening winter-scape in Nara Park

Weeping-willows at the edge of Ara-ike Pond

Hello, Friends! How have you been enjoying or surviving your winter or summer?

It has been much colder than usual in my part of the world, but I won't be huddled up with the cold.

When I walked around Nara Park toward the sunset time,

 it was the time for deer to graze heavily for supper at the Kasugano Park.

In the meantime the sky would have gotten noisy with the calling of crows heading for one direction.

At the Sagi-ike Pond, the eastern sky was still bright
with the last rays of the sun shining on the trees on the bank.

On the west side, the contrast of light and darkness was sharp.

Rosy clouds and dark trees were floating in the blue pond.

How cute!  Between Sagi-ike Pond and Ara-ike Pond, I saw these deer.

At the Araike-Pond, bare trees of gigantic weeping-willows were silhouetted against the setting sun.

This is one of my favorite winter evening tree-scapes in Nara Park.
