Manaslu & Tsum Valley, Day 10: Lopka – Bihi

 

 

Showing no sign of soon dying, cicadas’ sound.

Showing no sign of soon dying, squirrels’ stealing.

 

I remember I posted these haikus (1st: Basho, 2nd: mine):

In leaving Tsum Valley, the vegetation becomes lush again.  Monkeys jump in trees,

radiant, blue butterflies are surrounding us and the sound of uncountable cicadas is

a constant companion.
