Mejiro (Warbling white-eye bird) and Ume (japanese apricot) : Tsurugaoka-hachimangu

Without waiting the first spring breeze, the white noble flowers of Ume are beginning to bloom gracefully so as to announce the imminent arrival of spring before any flower.

The faint pleasant aroma of these white flowers is drifting softly through the dry chilly air and is inviting every starved bird which is hungry for sweet spring nectar.

The winter resting period will soon be over and the warm sunlight will once again illuminate this world abundantly. 

All living things, which have gently kept holding their breath in the stillness of winter, are eagerly awaiting the return of the merciful seasons for their vigorous rebirth and regrowth.

The light magenta flowers of Kawazu-zakura have just come into full bloom to notify us of the arrival of long-awaited spring. In the warm sunlight from the bright blue sky, wintry gloom and chill cannot be felt any longer.

A Mejiro (silvereye) bird is absorbedly flying from flower to flower to suck the sweet nectar of these fresh flowers and to fully enjoy its precious share of this spring glory.

According to the ceaseless revolution of our planet earth around the sun, the seasons continue to rotate and everything keeps changing without any break.
