Welcome to LQ Laoshi’s Blog on WordPress

Hi, this is a blog that is a record of my career as a Japanese teacher.

Please visit my photo gallery “LQ Laoshi’s Photo Gallery” (outside of wordpress)

I like playing music on my electric bass. Please visit “LQ Laoshi Plays Electric Bass.” and listen. The following is one of my bass playing.

J. S. Bach, Unaccompanied Cello Suite No.3, Prelude on Electric Bass (4.22MB)

I have been busy for so long. That is all for today.

Bird Feeding in Winter

This morning I found there was a lot of Snow in my garden.

I removed snow to get to the Bird Feeding Place.

They are very careful against Human Kind. If I get closer to take a photo, they will immediately fly away.

I hope they can survive this winter.

A Couple of Ducks on Koagano River

Just Behind the River is Pear Orchard

I have just found that Narcissus Flowers are Blooming at the Edge of my Garden.

That’s it for yesterdays’ photos.

I found that it’s Already December. But Let me Upload Photos of November

I set up a Feeding Place for Sparrows so that They can Survive Winter

Daikon, or Japanese Radish from my Garden. They can surely help me cut the cost of living

Slices of Salty Egg Plants and Small Tomato; I just wanted them to be colorful on the Supper Table.

Green Vegetables in my Garden. They are Strong against Cold. But once covered with Snow, I don’t want to dig them out of the snow.

Lunar Eclipse on November Eighth; I should have used a Tripod, though the tripod is being used to fix a web-camera for my online classes of Japanese language

There are Two types of Camellia: Tsubaki and Sazanka. I cannot tell the differences between the two, though.

I planted a “High-class” Persimmon Five years ago. At last I got just one Persimmon this year. I succeeded on getting rid of bitterness by applying strong alcohol on top. It became So SWEET!!!

Chrysanthemum Flowers are still Blooming in my Gardens

Actually People in Niigata eat Chrysanthemum Petals. But this is not to eat, but is Ornamental

Colorful and Bright Flowers Last Short by Winter’s coming

These photos were taken on November 19, 2022. I don’t have time to write some comments today because my job is still busy. Soon I have to prepare for the final examination for my students.
