Hello ☺️✨ I think it's a Japanese quince 🤍. It's in season right now, and the slight red hue on the pure white makes it even more adorable. Perhaps it's a good place to take a walk. It's blooming beautifully. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Yes. I remember OSAKA EXPO in 1990. I was a college student at that time. I used to do tutoring for a girl and her younger brother. I.5 hours x 2/two days a week. The parents invited me to go to Osaka-Expo with them at that time. There days, I had a great time with my students family. I am impressed with “Taiyou no Tou”. As everyone Every day is coming.

@太陽の塔 Good morning!🌞 I had read what I wrote yesterday. “I remember OSASA EXPO in 1990” It’s wrong 😑 sorry about the wrong memory. 😆(shouganai) Yes.When I was a college student, I was so busy for tutoring. I did(taught)English to junior high & high school students. I finished my classes at college, and go~ 4:30pm~8:00pm. I was very enjoying to teach English. I decided to be an teacher of English after graduating. Yes, I had a certification(1980). I believe you have college degrees. Your major is…”photography in the nature”😁 (hahaha~) Let’s have a good day! 😊
@ラスカル Good morning! How are you? Yesterday, after my swimming, I parked my car at home and crossed the small street to take a self pick. Autumn 🍂 has come at my place. Take care of yourself. I will be with you 😊

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Don't worry about it, Yuming. 😄👌 In order of the Expo year they are held in Japan, they are as follows: ①〜③ ①1985年 つくば万博 International Exposition, Tsukuba, Japan 1985 ②1990年 大阪花博 International Garden and Greenery Exposition, Osaka, Japan 1990 ③2005年 愛知万博(愛・地球博) Expo 2005 AICHI, JAPAN When Yuming were a college student, the World Expo was probably ①, right ?🤔😊🤗👌 If Yuming had taught English by a private tutor, it would be great ! ✌️ Please guide oni-chang too. Please let me know, if there is anything that needs to be corrected.🙇🌞💦 Oni-chan am a low graduate. 🎓🤓 When I was a freshman at Uuiv., I took an English conversation class. Our English teacher was Philip Karl Pehda.💪 At the time, Pehda caused some problems and was featured prominently in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper "Gパン👖先生".😳🫢 Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
