Gardenia in a pot

Hydrangea with antenna

A patch of pansies in the grasses

At the time of cherry blossoms in my neighbourhood

Castle and swans

Yaezakura (Kanzan sakura)

Spring Stars

Farmhouse in suburban Japan

Camellia Japonica in full bloom

Paradise - Thai style

Woods around Asahikawa, Hokkaido (pastel)

Wintersweet

View from the pier in autumn

Fed up with winter's grey...

 

.....people stop more often in front of flowers shops...

Biei in winter - Hokkaido

 

Dwarf bamboo in the snow

Strange plant

 

Trichosanthes cucumeroides

 

A plant to be found in China and Japan; the fruit - like miniature watermelons - draw the eyes. It is my second attempt at depicting this plant.

First snow this year

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

Dreaming of Camellia Japonica under snow...
