THE HAPPY END 15 - Alberto and another Hibaku Camphor in Argentina

Hiroshi, This is another Hibaku tree, given by Julio Bernal and Semillas de Paz, to the neighborhood Barbarita, very close to the premises of SMC AR Tigre, where the other hibaku is planted. Around 1.000 meters, 10 blocks, more or less between them. Both are camphor trees. These photos are from hibaku camphor tree planted at the entrance square of the neighbourhood, it is already a mature seedling, and the  site of planting is excellent, it has a 360 degree visual. Also it was good to see many kids from the neighbourhood participating in the planting, may this planting be for them a moment of remembrance in the future Kind alberto

THE HAPPY END 14 - Alberto's Cherry Prunus, Argentina

Hiroshi / Julio This past weekend we went to Baredero with my wife, this is a town around 145 km NE Buenos Aires, at the National Route 9 that goes to Rosario, Km 301 We have a strange winter now, this past week the average daylight temperature around 20 degrees celsius, so trees begun to flower. The enclosed photo is from a  cherry tree prunus type, quite like the 7 cherry trees we planted on august 6 th  2016 at SMC Tigre. Of course this cherry tree of Baradero is older, no less than 30 years, since the town of Baradero is the oldest of the province Buenos Aires, it was founded on 1615 by a Spanish conqueror, Hernandarias.

Seeds of Peace coming from the life - that always is able of a little more - Seeds of peace that nest the world tnto a portal that was of absence and today are flying in dreams of hope within the loving whispers of this August which consoles and  which whispers into the ears with new voices Seeds of peace above the silence of the souls that today will rest in peace Amalia Isabel Daibes Pehuajo 6/08/2016.
