'Mizubasho' in Iizuna

Most cherry blossoms are past the time of full bloom this week even here in Nagano area. However, it is really nice to see those flowers that are fluttering and flaking off the trees. I definitely like it. Most Japanese must feel taste for the simple and quiet when seeing such scene.

By the way, I went for a short drive to Iizuna area to see log houses. I found the clumps of 'mizubasho' in bloom along a road on my way. I was a little surprise to see them grow fast as I didn't see anything on the ground when I passed by there a few weeks ago.

They are still small but I believe they would grow more and become more beautiful a few days later.
