Cloud

Photo: Kamui

It is the exquisite contrast which clouds and mountains weave.

Voice of Fukurou

Have you ever heard the voice of an owl?
The hoot of an owl can be heard near the house around June.

Carpenter Bee

Although this bee looks very large and fearful,
in really it is a gentle bee.

Green Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms are usually pink.
However, cherry blossoms here are not pink.

Peach Blossoms

The peach of the yard was in full bloom.
I thought that I wished to take a picture of this flower on a cloudy day.
The opportunity was visited on my holiday.
Although blessed with the opportunity, I need to improve my skill more.

Christmas Rose

a name is a Christmas Rose although this flower blooms in spring.
Because a Christmas Rose is short and has a bud facing down,
it is not conspicuous during a bud.
However, it is brilliant if it begins to bloom.

Pink Goat Willow

A Goat willow is called "Nekoyanagi" in Japanese.
The "neko" means a cat. And the "yanagi" means a willow.
I think that touch of a female flower was compared to a cat's tail.

For some reason, the "nekoyanagi" in my house blooms pink flowers.

Late in the fall

The autumnal leaves of a foreground
and the snow-covered landscape of a background
show skillful contrast.
That contrast will become clear by expanding this picture.

Karasu-Uri

It became a season when ice needles stood out.
The broad leaf of the tree that had become yellow began to fall all together.
Since it was in such a winter scene, a Karasu-uri had colored.

The "Karasu" means a crow. And the "Uri" means a melon.
This is not edible. It is the small melon which grows naturally in the fields.
For a crow, it is the good melon for eating. I think so.

Autumn. . .

A Haze-no-ki belongs to the Japanese lacquer tree.
I placed a photo of the Haze-no-ki which was just before fallen leaves
to this page formerly.

I made a chic card by these leaves this year.

Late summer and late autumn

I received some beautiful pictures from Mr. Kamui.
They are Sakura-jima in the late summer,
and Hiraizumi in the late autumn.

Emergence

A Yellow Swallowtail which grew up by herb called a fennel
and became a chrysails emerged.
The larvae might have been conspicuous too much in the fennel.
It was only this one that became a butterfly out of nine larvae.

Small Copper

The butterfly came to my yard this year also.
This butterfly usually opens the wings and takes a rest.
This time I could take a picture of it which closed wings by chance.
Whenever I look at this butterfly, I am surprised by its beauty.

A Fireworks of Sumida

It is a hydrangea named the "fireworks of Sumida".
Sumida (Sumida River) is famous for the fireworks display of summer.

Feeling of this flower ....
This flower looks like large-blossomed fireworks in the night sky of summer.

Hikari-Mo

The Hiakari-Mo is a alga which reflects light.
This grows naturally in the well which gushes a spring
in the small cave called a Kogane-Ido (a well of gold).
It is said that Hikari-Mo reflect is the season
when aburana bloom.

Bakersfield

The spring letter arrived from California.
Bakersfield in early spring, such as FOG, BLUE SKY, and SOARER,
can be seen by clicking the thumbnail.

AquaLine

The rooftop in Umi-Hotaru was freezing cold.
However, the finished photo had a relieved warmth.

Violets

They are wild violets that grow naturally.
When they begin to bloom all at once,
the ground becomes a violet color.
However, the flowering period is very short.

Violets 2

A violet signals the beginning of spring.
This flower has the peculiar atmosphere different from a pansy.

Stinkbug of Heart

This bug tends to be kept at arm's length for the bad smell.
However...
Please look at the heart mark of the back.

There is no larger image (^^;

Super Aka Tombo

I saw the dragonfly of vivid color like this for the first time.
