This year’s very, tediously long rainy season finally ended.

.

Then…the sunshine is too strong and glaring … and I found this haiku on the internet.

.

However, what is more important here is this tanzaku (thin strip of paper for calligraphy) holder was a delightful birthday present from my good old friend from high school days.

.

During the rainy season/

Through patch of blue sky/

Sunset glow was seen but soon disappeared/

.
