The Ray of Hope !

by Kazu

The bright sunshine of the rising sun colored the eastern sky orange. The white and gray clouds diffused the sunlight and added some twists to the original color. The air was still cold but so comfortable to inhale.  

As the rising sun was going up higher, the traffic beside the premises of Hokkaido University got busier and the silence early in the morning was broken.

The city was also getting up and hitting the stride to the peak of the day. Early birds get more and privilege to see such beautiful and magnificent collaboration of the nature. 
 

Clouds like Seaguls at the crack of dawn !

by Kazu

I thought large seagulls were flying high in early in the morning. Actually, some seagulls were flying even in the sky over Sapporo City. But the white lines in the sky were the clouds like seagulls flying to the rising sun.

I had seen migratory birds flying to the north or the south in spring and autumn. The scenery reminds me of the birds that might bring about infectious disease such as flu.  

I had killed many chickens infected with flu in the farms four times or five before. The massacre should be done immediately to avoid the pandemic of bird flu that might infectious to the human beings.   

 

The Rising Sun on the Vernal Equinox Day in 2026 !

by Kazu

On the Vernal Equinox Day,the red sun was rising in the direction of right east. On the Autumnal Equinox Day, the same scenery can be seen from the northern end of the premises of Hokkaido University.

Other joggers were also enjoying the scenery, I think. It is one of the most energizing and inspiring privileges for early birds. It may be a little bit too difficult to share the scenery with my wife early in the morning but some day, I would like to show her such treasure of Hokkaido.

The rows of poplar trees showed us the silhouette against the backdrop of rising sun. The experimental agricultural field of Hokkaido University was covered with frost. I am so looking forward to the season of the sun. 

 

The Start of the Baseball Season in 2026!

by Kazu

"Escon Field" Ball Park seemed to be alluring the citizens of Kita Hiroshima City, Sapporo and other adjacent area as well as the tourists from other regions of Japan and on this globe. 

It can be said that Escon Field became one of the biggest draws in Hokkaido. To be honest, I've never seen such well-organized and exciting ball park in North America. In particular, the food court and vendors are so special and impressive. Have you ever visited the ball park before? I strongly recommend to visit there.    
 

At the crack of dawn !

by Kazu

The pale gray clouds made the rising sun on the horizon bright orange and more impressive. It energized us so much during my jogging on that day. It would be fine and warmer than the day before.  

No herd of sheep cold be seen in the experimental agricultural field of Hokkaido University early in that morning. I'd never seen them eating grass there yet this year.

Two lines of poplar trees had not have green leaves on their branched but the buds of leaves must be swelling even in the cold wind. They were growing when I was studying law in the university decades ago. It has been thirty eight years ago. Time flies.   

 

Strawberry Special Frappuccino !

by Kazu

My wife and I love  the seasonal monthly special Frappuccino produced by Starbucks. We tried the Strawberry Special Frappuccino on the second floor of MIREDO Building in Sapporo on that day.   

We make a point of trying the special Frappuccino each month. Our favorites are peach Frappuccino, strawberry one, mango, pineapple and so on. It seems that they ease the pain of my wife. 

The timing of sunrise is getting earlier every day. The red sunrise could be seen over the gray clouds on the horizon.The pillars of photon at the northern end of the premises of Hokkaido University created so nce harmony with the sunrise. 

 

The Construction undergoing !

by Kazu

This is the next block of The Gate Hotel Sapporo by Hulicon the northern side.I thought the B4 level construction could be seen from the window of the hotel. It was rare to see such scenery from this angle.

The construction site had been for the local department store "Gobankan" that was acquired by SEIBU Group. But after the department store "Daimaru" was built, Gobankan SEIBU could not allure enough people to run the store. The competition was harsh among the department stores and supermarket sores.
