Post a Week 2011
by Hanna
(Photo of plum blossoms by merefflorescence of Cloudy with a Chance of Clouds. I was surprised at the similarities in color between this photo and the first Funada Gyokujū painting I posted earlier this week.)
I realize my posting has been highly irregular. Sometimes I post close to nothing for a month or more. Other times, I post almost daily, such as recently. To try to increase the regularity of my posts, I’ve decided to join Post a Week 2011. I’ve decided not to pledge a post a day, because I hope to dedicate the extra time towards keeping or even raising the quality of my posts. Of course, if I have more to post, I will not limit myself by the challenge.
I will make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similiar goals, to help me along the way. Please leave comments about your thoughts and feedback on the project as it progresses.
Here we go!

Crazy coincidence: I posted that same Funada painting in January! http://merefflorescence.tumblr.com/post/2940892733
I never did make it to the exhibition though…
It’s thanks to that painting that I found your blog. I got the image from you. I hope you don’t mind. The exhibition was great, but there was also so much that it was a bit overwhelming. I went towards the end of the run and didn’t have the chance to go a second time. . .
. . . and thank you for the pretty ume photo!
