松尾大社の山吹 Kerria at Matsu-no-o shrine

 22 km サイクリングして、松尾神社の山吹を見てきました〜満開はちょっと過ぎていたけど、まだまだじゅうぶん美しかった。ほんのり甘い香りがして、バラ科植物らしさも感じられる? 背後に聳える山が新緑に萌えていて、木々の生命力がみなぎる。境内はコンパクトで、庭は昭和の作というだけあり、近代的かつ機能的な趣。桂川にかかる松尾大橋も、山、川、空が一望できてとても綺麗だった。今日はすごい強風。まだまだ春らしい気候を満喫できそう!

I cycled 22 km to see kerria blossoms at Matsu-no-o Shrine - a little past full bloom, but still beautiful. It had a slightly sweet fragrance, from which I could sense the Rosaceous nature of the plant. The mountain behind the shrine is covered by lush, fresh green, and the trees full of life. The shrine is rather compact, and the garden is modern and functional, as it was created in the 1970s. The Matsuo Bridge over Katsura River is also beautiful, offering a panoramic view of the mountains, the river, and the sky. Strong winds shook my bike quite a bit on the bridge today. It looks like we will still be able to enjoy this lovely spring-like weather a bit more! 






いちごっぽいけど、白山吹だそう。looks like strawberry flowers, but it's actually white kerria. 




幹の凹凸に惚れ惚れ。Bumpy, zig-zag, 3D? bark. Amazing. 







The best pad shee yew noodles I've had in Japan! ドランクンヌードル、それに近いものに出会えた気がする。
