at the beach

maybe due to strong winds of the tyhoon,
the visibility was low in the sea.
still, I was dying to dive in face of sea...

at japan sea(3)

there you go!

you split a watermelon with a stick while blindfolded, as a summertime entertainment.

at japan sea(2)

she is not practicing a martial art, nor trying to rob it.

at Japan sea

on the day the big tyhoon has gone.

prickly water lilies

a ninja ran across on the leaves at night.

lotus flowers

bloom in early morning and open with a popping sound they say.

gate of two different styles

out of the railway ticket gate, you face a replica of a traditional gate of shukuba.

too muggy for this time of the season

my grandma was taken to a hospital by ambulance with heat stroke.
I got put on a drip for fatigue.
didn’t have a chance to write my wish on a strip of paper and hang it from bamboo branch.

a fresh start

the ceremony was held out on June 30th.
they have gone downstream in the shrine,
and we have made a fresh start over
for the second half of the year.
