Two months have been passed discharging from the hospital.

Of course, I thought the recovery of physical strength I don't go the way I want.

However, I can't carry heavy photographing equipment at this condition.

Therefore, I have been taking the targets around my house with 7DmarkⅡF4.5 without tripod.

I was wondering if it passed over by every day in such a state but my waist pain that I forgot I ever existed had a recurrence.

Oh my god, misfortunes never come alone.

Shortest trip to Okinawa Prefecture

From aside the reason, I suddenly went to Japan's southernmost Okinawa prefecture on June 17-18th.

Unfortunately, the departure and arrival time of the plane on the 16th and 17th was significantly delayed.

After all, the only tourist attraction I visited was Shuri Castle which

I have been to Okinawa more than a dozen times, but for the first time I visited the world heritage site Shuri Castle.

A monarchy that has existed in the southwestern islands of Japan for about 450 years 

The Ryukyu Kingdom was established about 570 years ago (1429) and existed in the southwest islands of Japan for about 450 years, up to about 120 years ago (1879).

In addition, the unique architectural style and stone-building technology that combines the culture of the castle of the Japan and China has a high cultural and historical value, and the ruins of Shuri Castle were registered as the 11th World Heritage Site in Japan in December 2000.

The bright red color of the figure is a male figure that conveys the life of the kingdom's history and culture, and it can be said that it is a symbol of Okinawa.

Pressed flower

Exhibiting at an acquaintance's restaurant near my house.

It is a works of the customer of this restaurant at this event every year.

私の家の近くの知り合いのレストランで展示中。

毎年このイベントでこのレストランのお客様の作品です。

The material that has been dried flatly by pressing natural flowers and leaves is called a pressed flower. Small size of works include bookmarkers, Christmas cards, postcards, etc. Large size of works include wedding bouquets. In botany, this has long been the method of formal sample preparation. (Quote from the part of the Wikipedia Japanese.)日本語版ウィキペディアからの引用 

自然の花や葉等を押して、平面状に乾燥させた素材を押し花（おしばな）と呼ぶ。小型作品では栞、クリスマス・カード、絵はがき等、大型作品ではウェディングブーケ等がある。植物学では古くからこれが正式な標本作製の方法とされた。
