Beautiful pictures and excellent pronunciation! The only thing was your pronunciation of nineteen. The /t/ should be aspirated: [naynt̚.tʰí:n]. Great job!

The photo of the morning glories is kind of poetic. I love photos like the one of your mother. It looks like they were just having fun, playing with the camera. The camera was interesting back then, but not now. I don't know, pictures of people nowadays don't have as much charm.

@CocoPop Thank you, Uly! I listened to your recording again and I see what you mean about the /t/ in nineteen being aspirated. I’ll make sure to remember that!
Thank you, @via-chan for your lovely comment! It's interesting to me that young people like you understand the charm of old photographs. My mother loved simple, subtle beauty, and I think I inherited that from her.

I wonder what color the morning glory was...
朝顔や
色は知らねど
海の青

Wow! I'm really impressed by the haiku. Is it possible that you wrote it? It has a special beauty and a lingering resonance. I remember the fan beside my mother was actually blue. The morning glory and the fan are similar in shape. Perhaps their colors are resonating with each other as well.

I wrote it, and I admit that I had to look up the word for morning glory and love the fact that in Japanese it's a morning face.

What a stunning haiku, @CocoPop! I'm so pleased I came across it.
Love the photographs, @Akiko - they look filled with stories. Coincidentally, I also plant the same colour of 朝顔 sometimes and it's so nostalgic: reminds me of a time when I started gardening, and some old friends.
