Hassaku Orange Tree Flowers 八朔の花

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

It smelled good there, like Daphne, but the Daphne season was over more than a month ago. So, I walked around and found the source. Hassaku orange flowers were in bloom, emitting a citrus aroma so strongly that I smelled it through a mask. After checking nobody was around me, I took off the mask for the first time in more than a year outside and breathed deeply!😉

Hassaku orange flower and bud 八朔の花

Hoverflies love the flowers アブもハッサク好きみたい

Hassaku oranges taste more sour and bitter than other oranges, but that's why I like them. Sadly, however, if your family member has a different taste, you sometimes need to give up what you like. I haven't eaten hassaku oranges for more than ten years....😂     

Israel no longer requires people to wear masks outside, which made me think about when Japanese people other than the elderly or essential workers will be able to get vaccinated. I should be happy if that happened by the end of the year.....😭

八朔の花です。朝散歩しているときにいい匂いがしてきて見渡したら咲いていました。周りに誰もいなかったのでマスクを外し深呼吸😉 いい匂い！八朔の酸っぱさが好きなのですが、酸っぱいのが苦手な家族がいるせいでもう10年以上口にしていません。

そういえばイスラエル、屋外ではマスクなしでいいとのこと。日本で一般の人がワクチン接種できるのっていつなのかしら？年内😭？
