My presentation, in Tomoko's case






THE NIAGARA FALLS

I’d like to talk about the Niagara Falls.
I have been there two times in summer and in winter.
My first impression of the Niagara Falls was breathtaking.
I was surprised with the beauty of nature.
The view of the Niagara Falls in winter was different from that in summer.
How do you feel?
Can you see the difference?
It seems that the downriver from the basin of the falls almost frozen over in this picture.
But apparently, it seemed that the only surface of the downriver has frozen, and the water under the frozen surface has flowed down.
I thought so. I am not sure.
There again, the upper river hasn’t frozen over, but the large masses of ice were sometimes flowing into the basin of the falls.
It means the falls were flowing all the time.

The next one is an interesting picture.
The mist from the Niagara Falls routinely coats nearby trees and railing with ice.
The coated ice was so hard. I was interested in it.
I was gazing in wonder at the coated trees and railing with ice.

Now I sometimes think back on these trips.
They were so great experience for me.
I had no idea that I would see such beautiful and fantastic landscape in my life. Furthermore, winter one was very lucky because the Niagara Falls are not always frozen throughout winter but only for several days.
The time I went to the Niagara Falls in winter was good timing

Finally, I’d like to introduce these pictures to you.
All pictures were taken by my husband.
This picture was compounded eight pictures, and that one too.
So I can make you see the whole Niagara Falls in the pictures.
My thanks go to my husband, and thank you very much for your kind attention.

SPRING



Spring is one of the four seasons of the year. It follows Winter and comes before Summer.

This is one of the most beautiful seasons for many people. It begins on March 21 and ends on June 21.

The Spring is the time when nature shows its grand beauty. It is time to wear confortable clothes, for vacations, weddings and other kinds of ceremonies.

Spring is the greatest time of the year for me.

Wonderful TOKYO DAY!



Many people visited to
shines on New Year's day
in Japan.

This photo is a famous
shrine " SUITENGU" in
Tokyo, Japan.

I was born near there
about thirty years ago.






This time I came back to Japan to extend my US-VISA.
After US embassy's interview, I visited to "SUITENGU". 
I prayed to god that I could have a happy year.





After praying, I picked
a fortune slip, which
predicted "very good fortune" 
for me!

I'm very lucky and I'll
have a wonderful year!
