Fairytales from Nara Park

I hope you welcomed in a wonderful New Year.
Wish you a healthy and peaceful year filled with smiles.

In Nara Park, time passes slowly or briskly in accordance with the visitor’s heart.

Strolling around, you’ll find sights that look straight out from a fairytale all the year round.
 

Spring

When warm wind blows to wake up the buds of cherry blossoms, …..

 .. photographing of a happy wedding to commemorate is taking place here and there.

 

 Summer

At dusk, familiar places look different.

I felt like that I strayed into a parallel world to Sagi-ike Pond.

 Autumn

Inari Fox of the gods with supernatural power is always on the side of good people.

A water spirit comes to the surface to play with the colored leaves.

 Winter  (January 7th, 2016)

 

Along the Path of the Whisper in the grove of Kasuga on a cloudy winter day,

you might feel like Hansel or Gretel wandering in a grove.

 

Winter, two years ago

I long for the dusting of snow which transforms places into winter wonderland. 

 From my living room

As a starter of my eventful 2016,

I was happy to share the Nara Park with my Russian friend Irina and her husband.

The experience made me come up with the composition of this post.

 

My life has already restored its livelier beat.

I'll try not to get lost in a daily rush but to keep smiles, compassion, and love

to make the people around me feel happy and comfortable.
