投稿の詳細: 春祭り Spring Festival

昨日、うららかな春の日差しが暖かく降り注ぎ、
銀座通り商店街の春祭りはにぎわった。
行き交う人々、親子連れ、にわか売り子の我々も
皆笑顔で、穏やかな空気が流れていた。

暫くオーストラリアに行っていたせいもあり、
浮世離れした感覚にはお祭りの空気がよくなじむ。

あいにくその日以外は、天候は冬に逆戻りしたり
突然初夏のような陽気になったりと季節感を
惑わすのだが。但し今年の桜は大分早いようだ。

The narrow street was crowded with people under
the generous and warm spring sun shine in a small
town of north Shinshu. The Ginza Shopping Street
named after famous Ginza in Tokyo had a spring
festival yesterday. Thanks to the gentle weather, the
people, families with small children and the vendors
like us were all smiling and enjoyed the day in Spring.

Returning from Australia after two weeks there,
I felt like still travelling in the extraordinary time
of the festival atmosphere.

Except yesterday, the weather was not stable with
chilly winter wind on one day and the early summer warmth
on the other day which make me confused about the
season. The weather forecast says however that we
will have cherry blossoms very early this year.
