June 2010

Sadly, three ladies are leaving soon. We held a farewell party for them.

One lady in the class offered her home as the venue. It was a wonderful house based in white color.

All participants except the three main guests wore white clothes. 

It was an excellent dress-code. It clearly drew out the brightness of the three ladies.  

They played music in return.

It would be a memorable party for all.

April 1, 2010

While it was raining hard in the morning, the rain turned very light in the afternoon.

We found that the wet branches enhanced the beauty of the cherry flowers than when they are dry. 

The photo below was taken on a fine day.

As you can see, the darker color of the wet branches help the pale pink color of the flowers look deeper.

Green seen through the moist air is also darker and more beautiful.

We had a very nice walk with the lady who was on a visit back in Hiroshima from Australia.

We went back to the class room and had lunch together.

First we toasted with the champagne a gift from the lady who moved to Shanghai in February.

2005年クラスのカレンダー用写真はプロ写真家岸副正樹氏が撮ってくださるという光栄に！普段は出版社で月刊誌用写真の撮影をなさっている方です。
