The Japanese Bush Warbler, or uguisu, has such a lovely call
that it's birdcall (hohokekyo)
has become commonplace in Japan.
The Warbler's call is known to signal
the arrival of Spring
and begins in mid-February in Southern Japan but
won't be heard in the North until the end of April.

Your latest piece, here, is such a happy piece. I had to smile. :-)
Thanks, John, I had fun doing it last night.
Your art of today is a feel-good art work for me, so beautiful and positive. I think we all need this in our difficult times.
The Japanese woodblock print is just fabulous. Thanks for your information on it. And your birdies are really miracles, every day another piece of art.
Glad one of your grandsons already finished quarantine and your daughter and husband are negative. What a relief.
Isn't it lovely that Carol, you and me are teachers? I also used to read to my younger students each day before Christmas for about a quarter of an hour. My book then was a biography of Madame Curie written in a very nice style for young people. Madame Curie was an extraordinary and brave lady not only with a keen mind but also with a caring heart for the people around her.
Please stay safe both of you, Jacki and Carol.
I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's blog, Jacki.
Thanks so much Elenor, yes, they say we stand on the shoulders of the brave women of the past who endured so much and poor conditions. I’m glad you liked the artwork, I had fun doing it last night. I haven’t started on tomorrow’s art yet?
