─ Merriment ─

In April, the hillside blazes with the colors of spring as ocean breezes from the warm current blow in. Even near my studio, one can enjoy a variety of colors：pink, crimson, snow white and yellow enamating from such flowers as poppy, rose moss, marguerite, santa barbara daisy.

Not far from the coast, fields of pink and violet milk-vetches stretch all around. Boys run around the fields playing tag while girls sing nursery songs and string the flowers into necklaces. A light mist descends upon the fields, turning the mountains in the distance into hazy silhouettes. Life moves gently here, at a pace one can no longer find in the city.
