Post 777. You hit the jackpot, Akira!

Do a Google search for “what is the meaning of 777?” The answers will surprise you 😊

Love the spring mood in these shots ❤️

Thank you! I’ve always had a vague sense that 7 is a lucky number, but I’d never really thought to look into why. While 777 is just another milestone to me, I have a feeling something good might happen today. (^o^)

These sweet birds look like White-eyes. We also have them and they are called Silver-eyes. Lovely spring photos, thank you.

Thank you. It’s interesting to know that you see birds similar to the Japanese white-eye in your country, too. Whenever I see them sipping nectar from cherry blossoms, it gives me such a peaceful feeling.

Spending so much time in Kyoto city itself, I find myself really missing birds. Now that the weather is warming up, I have to get out of the buildings and get to more open spaces.

You can see small birds even in the city, but sometimes you just want to be surrounded by nature and enjoy a sense of freedom. I totally get it.
