inside mornig glory

There was an ant inside.
Shooting a snap up-close is really interesting.
I feel as if I also have been an ant.

Kikyo Morning Glory again!

A glorious moment of a short-lived flower.

Morning Glory

It is delightful to greet this little kikyo bell flower morning glory.

Tough it withers by evening, a new one blooms next morning to replace it.

Trip to Kawaguchiko-lake

From August 11th through 13th,
I went to Kawaguchiko-lake at the foot of Mt. Fuji.

Mt. Fuji before the dawn on 12th.

Hiroshima

It has been very hot these days.
When the humidity is high, we feel much hotter than an actual thermometer mercury indicates.

AT this time of hot summer, lots of people remember and think of what happened to Hiroshima 62 years ago.
I recently read this MANGA called “City in evening calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms.”
Long-lasting physical, mental and psychological burden on the atomic bomb survivors and their families are illustrated modestly in everyday lives.

With the aging of the survivors, true horror of atomic bombing seems to be gradually fading in consciousness. Horror of atomic bomb and the atrocities Japanese military had done. These facts should be passed on from generations to generation despite the controversies over how to teach history at schools in Japan.

In the evening sunshine

I bought hibiscus on impulse when I passed by a florist's near my house. I think it is a best flower in summer. It is shining golden with the setting sun.
