Copy from ... www.wetter-mensch-natur.de:

"Phänologie, oder einfacher der Naturkalender, ist eines der lohnendsten und interessantesten Kapitel für alle, die sich für und an der Natur begeistern können. Beobachtungen und resultierende Erfahrungen sind fast unerschöpflich.

Kein Jahr gleicht dem anderen, sagt man. Das hat seine Berechtigung. Trotzdem rennen wir bei den ersten warmen Sonnenstrahlen im Frühling hinaus in den Garten, um schon mal die Gartengeräte bereitzustellen. Am 21. März ist zwar Frühlingsanfang, es muss aber noch lange kein Frühling sein, denn 6 Wochen Differenz zwischen den Vegetationszuständen in verschiedenen Jahren sind keine Seltenheit. Es kann fatale Folgen haben, wenn man sich z. B. nur nach den Aussaatzeiten der Samenpackungen richtet, ohne dabei die Natur zu beobachten. Sehr viel verlässlicher als der altbekannte Kalender mit 4 Jahreszeiten in den 12 Monaten ist der »Naturkalender«, denn für Pflanzen ist die Tageslänge und die Temperatur entscheidend und nicht das Datum.

In vielen geographisch wärmeren Gegenden haben die verschiedenen Jahreszeiten ihren Rhythmus, von einem Tag zum anderen wird es dauerhaft warm, Frühjahrsstürme und Regenzeiten sind relativ pünktlich. Bei uns, in Mitteleuropa, ist das nicht so. Länger anhaltende Hochdruckgebiete sind in der Regel eine Ausnahme, und die zuverlässigste Wetterlage finden wir im Herbst, aber auch das nicht jedes , Jahr. Genauer sind hier die Naturbeobachtungen.

Das Jahreszeitempfinden die Schneeglöckchen und Weidenblüte, Löwenzahnblüte, erntende Maschinen, reife Früchte und fallendes Herbstlaub ausgelöst, und ist von Ort zu Ort und Jahr zu Jahr zeitlich völlig unterschiedlich. Jede Jahreszeit hat in der Natur ihren eigenen, unverwechselbaren Charakter und ihr eigenes Gesicht, die sich in den typischen »Kennpflanzen« widerspiegeln, die uns ihrerseits Rückschlüsse auf das Klima in der unmittelbaren Umgebung geben. Ob die Jahreszeiten in der Natur ihre Optima erreicht haben, verrät uns nicht der Kalender, sondern nur die Natur selbst. Diese »Eintrittszeiten« sind von Ort zu Ort verschieden. In 50 km Entfernung erfreut uns schon die Apfelbaumblüte, wobei vor Ort erst die ersten grünen Knospen zu sehen sind. Wer sich nach den Naturkalender richtet und zudem noch das Wetter beobachtet, kann im Garten eigentlich kaum mehr Fehler machen."

A new German Saijiki Project, started in 2005

"Mit dem japanischen Wort fudo (風土 fuudo) wörtlich 'Wind und Erde') ist die natürliche Umwelt eines bestimmten Landes gemeint, nämlich sein Klima, sein Wetter, die geologische und produktive Beschaffenheit seines Bodens, seine topographischen und landschaftlichen Charakteristika." So leitet Watsuji Tetsuro sein 1935 in Japan erschienenes Werk "Fudo - Wind und Erde" ein (Watsuji Tetsuro, Fudo - Wind und Erde, Der Zusammenhang zwischen Klima und Kultur, Darmstadt 1992, S. 6).

Das Saijiki-Projekt startet als erstes Literaturprojekt auf einer neuen Internet Literatur-Plattform. Der hamburger Haiku Verlag hat sich an der Entwicklung dieser Plattform 'www.e-Literat.de' beteiligt. Dort bestehen die allerbesten Voraussetzungen, um ein solches Projekt zu präsentieren. In dem Projektteil sind Haiku-Interessierte eingeladen Vorschläge für Jahreszeitenworte einzureichen.

The Yuki Teikei Haiku Season Word List
http://www.youngleaves.org/poetry/The%20Yuki%20Teikei%20Haiku%20Season%20Word%20List.htm

These season words or kigo are from the 1977-78 Haiku Journal. Originally the list was selected from Japanese saijiki (kigo "dictionaries") and translated by Kiyoko Tokutomi. Over time words have been added that have seasonal resonance for our predominantly North American members.

In the Haiku Journal, they were listed in both seasons in consideration of non-Japanese poets for whom these topics unambiguously evoke summer feelings.

Trinidad and Tobago Saijiki

Trinidad and Tobago SAIJIKI




The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying northeast of the South American nation of Venezuela and south of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. It also shares maritime boundaries with Barbados to the northeast and Guyana to the southeast. The country covers an area of 5,128 square kilometres (1,979 sq mi) and consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and 21 smaller islands. Trinidad is the larger and more populous of the main islands; Tobago is much smaller, comprising about 6% of the total area and 4% of the population. The nation lies outside the hurricane belt.

Originally settled by Amerindians at least 7,000 years ago, Trinidad and Tobago was occupied by Arawakan- and Cariban-speaking peoples at the time of European contact in 1498. A history of slavery and indentureship has left the country with a mixture of African, Indian, European, Middle Eastern and Chinese people. All these groups have left an imprint on the national culture, and there is an increasingly high percentage of mixed-race people. Trinidad and Tobago became an independent nation (from the United Kingdom) in 1962 and a republic in 1976.

Officially Trinidadians or Tobagonians, the people from Trinidad and Tobago are often informally referred to as Trinbagonians or Trinis. Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago is a primarily industrialised country whose economy is based on petroleum and petrochemicals. Trinidad and Tobago is famous for its pre-Lenten Carnival and as the birthplace of steelpan, calypso, Soca music, and limbo.

ハミング‐バード Hummingbirds
are birds that comprise the family Trochilidae.
They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird.
The Aztec god Huitzilopochtli is often depicted as a hummingbird.
Trinidad and Tobago is known as "The land of the hummingbird," and a hummingbird can be seen on that nation's coat of arms and 1-cent coin as well as its national airline, Caribbean Airlines.
