At a Glance

2006-12-16T19:08:00.000Z

刈穂の田田植どきと見まちがい

I rode in a footpath between rice fields by bicycle. At a glance, I thought I saw rice transplanting. A blue sky continues and I am very warm. It seems to be spring. In addtion, young rice lengthened as green as green. A wink , I got an illusion of a field in the days of rice-transplanting. This will be influence of warming of the earth!
