all this while

It rained this morning which prevented me from going out but happily it stopped raining and the sun began to shine. There is a small botanical garden near my house, which is about ten minutes’ walk. During the winter I seldom visited it because I knew that few flowers if any could be seen there. A week ago I went there with my wife and a senior high student from America who was then staying with us. She had brought two cameras with her when he came to Japan and told me that she would be a photographer in the future. I do not know what impression she got on the day we visited the garden because there were few flowers as I had expected and she told us nothing about it though she seemed to have shot many shots. On last Sunday, however, I was surprised to find flowers blooming though the number was not many. It seemed that spring had come at last.
It seems that I have many thing which I want to tell you after long absence. What was I doing all this while? I read many books, especially works of philosophy to publish the book though it has not been published yet for many reasons. To write it I learned again German, French and the ancient Greek from scratch, which took me much time but was rewarding. I will write what I have learned little by little.

Comments

Sandra, thank you for your comments you gave me on my photos, which made me glad very much. Now that it is getting warmer these days I will be take more photos everyday though it is true that I have become busier as I get better. But taking photo is really fun.

I am so glad you are getting better. I too have just rediscovered photography in retirement, and yours are truly inspiring. Thank you for your kind comment on my flower today. Kind regards, Sandra Harris.
