My daughter has now a small trouble on her
knee by bike accident several days ago.
Of course she can walk as usual, but it is a little hard for her to ride a bike.
So I took her to the school by my car again this morning.
I took this picture on the way home and I was able to see the Oshima island clearly, but it's still very cold today.
Why not?
I have been thinking about the weather, it was changed before noon.
The blue sky goes well with Shirahama beach.
Our customers got up before 4:00 AM this morning and went to the nearest beach to see
the sunrise.
As it was beautiful morning they could see the gorgeous sunrising on the horizon.
"Don't eat the sun!!"
They sent us this picture by e-mail after breakfast.
The Golden week, a long holiday
in Japan started today.
We had a little strong west wind, but it was warmer than yesterday and we could see the gorgeous colour of sea in Shirahama today.
There were some more people than usual, and a lot of cars which came from the other prefectures were on the Route 135.

We had strong north east wind in Shirahama today.
When we have such a situation some wind surfer come to this beach.
It was very cold by this north east wind today.
When I was taking photos this wind made my hands freezing.
Where did the warm spring go?
It's sunny and very hot here in
Shimoda this morning.
I took this picture when I walked.
As the air is clear we can see the mountains coverd with fresh green leaves clearly.
If the air temperature would be getting higher we would be able to swim in Shirahama during Golden week.
It was sunny and much warmer than yesterday in Shirahama today.
When I walked in Shirahama I took this picture behind Shirahama shrine.
There are a lot of interesting points to explore and see in Shimoda.
When I walked around Shirahama I took these photos.
We had strong west wind today again, but had beautiful blue sea as well.
I took this picture on the way to the nearest beach "Shirahama" from our Pension today.
We had strong west wind in Shirahama today, but it made the air in Shirahama very clear.
So we got a gorgeous scenery today.
It was amaging and we were in almost summer.
I love such a beautiful color and we are very lucky to live in Shirahama, Shimoda.
I walked along the seaside after I served breakfast for my children this morning, and I took some pictures.
We had very big waves in last 2 days, but it was really changed after that and we have no big waves today.
The sea of spring has come back agai!
We still have a little strong west wind, but it will be very warm here in Shimoda today.

Last night we had heavy rain and strong wind here in Shimoda.
But it became sunny and the blue sky came back today.
They had big waves this afternoon.

After I took pictures on the beach, my son and I went to Shimoda for cycling.
I parked my car at Shimoda harbor and started cycling to Rendaiji town.
We had strong wind, but my son was very excited today.
They came from Taiwan and stayed for 1 night
at Sakuraya.
They have come to Japan for many times, but it was a first time for them to come to Shimoda.
We are very sorry, but it had been rainy during their stay.
One of them, he speaks Japanese very well, so we could have a good comunication in Japanese.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
I took this picture on the beach behind Shirahama shrine this morning.
They had big waves today, but it was a good condition for surfing.
I went to Minami Izu town with my son to ride
bicycle.
Sakura trees on the riverside were fully blooming and we could see the rape blossoms as well.
We rode bicycle to the beach on the riverside and came back to the parking lot.
It was almost 2 hours, but he was very excited and had a fun today.
It was sunny and very hot in
Shimoda today.
When I walked along the sea I found out a lot of yellow flowers.
They are dandelion flowers which tell spring has come.

I took these pictures when I took my daughter to the school this morning.
There were some young people swimming in the water!
In these days the water temperature and the air one are almost same, 14 or 15 degrees this morning.
So it isn't cold for young people to get into the water, I guess.
It was very very warm here in
Shimoda today, and we could see Amagi mountains and Izu Seven Islands
clearly.
When I walked on the top of mountain behind Pension Sakuraya I found out a lot of small flowers called Greater Henbit ( or Lamium amplexicaule?).
This flower is one of messengers of Spring!!
I took this picture when I took my daughter to the school by car this morning.
We had very strong and cold wind yesterday, but there is no wind and it became very warm today.
I took this picture when I walked on the seaside.
There were some people walking with bare feet on the beach this afternoon.
It
was very warm again today here in Shimoda.
My wife and I heard the birdsong of bush warbler for the 1st time this season in Shirahama.
It is about a week later than usual, I think.
By the way I took this picture on Shirahama Beach this afternoon.
There is a small hole on the cliff and we can see the sea through this hole.
Today it was windy here in
Shimoda.
The strong west wind sometimes makes the sea blue and gorgeous like this.
And a lot of cargo ships come to this beach to protect themselves from the strong west wind.
I took this picture on the way to the nearest beach from our Pension.
Today it was sunny but we had strong west wind.
In this case we sometimes see the ships which come to this beach to protect themselves from the strong wind.
We can see such a scenery in winter.
Today I walked around again under
the sunshine, and I took some pictures of Shirahama beach and Shimoda
town from the top of mountain.
When I was walking I found out a lot of live savers on the beach this afternoon.
I think it is very hard to get into the water in this season, but the water temperature is about 14 degrees and the air temperature is about 8 degrees.
So it is warmer in the water than in the air actually.
Today I walked to Tsumekizaki cape in Shimoda to see the flowers of narcissus.
This festival has been held since last December 20th, and now it is good timing to see the fully blooming there.
It was sunny and we didn't have cold wind, so it was very warm here in Shimoda.
I took some pictures on the way to Tsumekizaki.
I walked around for an hour after 2 days.
There was nobody on the beach when I went there this afternoon.
They didn't have good waves for surfing, so the surfers went to the other beaches, I guess.
I walked around in Shirahama today again.
We had a little cold north wind, but the sea was shining under the blue sky.
When I was walking this morning I
found out the beautiful white field on the beach.
First of all I thought it was snow, but the beach was covered with snow frost actually.
We don't have many times a year to see such a beautiful scenery here in Shimoda.
We have only one day this year at last.
Thank you very much, everybody.
We wish you a Happy New Year!
A couple of egret, white and black, have lived
for a long time here in Shirahama.
They sometimes come to the beach to get lunch.
This white one is very nervous, so she flies away every time when I approach her to take a photo.
After I took my daughter to the school this morning, I went to the beach to take photos.
I took this photo on the beach behind Shirahama shrine.
I love this shot very much!!
We had heavy rain and strong wind yesterday,
but it became a beautiful today.
The rainbow on the waves was made by the strong west wind.
Sunshine and blue sky makes us very happy!
