A local firworks

 Is Japan becoming in the tropical zone?

Fireworks are a summer event in this country.

However, it has not been almost held for the past three years due to the prevention of Covit-19 infection.

As the ninth wave of COVID‑19 hits the country this year, fireworks are starting to take place everywhere. Our city postponed again the event, but the neighboring city of Toride held it on August 14th.

By the way, I love the lingering after the fireworks are launched.

I think it's only about 1/50 seconds.. This local fireworks movie is the beginning of the fireworks and the final only.

Sweats, sweats, if when you got outdoor.

I can't help believing in" Global warming" on this earth. Why so hot every day? It's over 34 degrees centigrade every day here.

Lycoris squamigera

 These flowers that were in full bloom were found close to my residence, very similar to cluster amaryllis that will bloom about one month after.

 It's hot every day and I'm sick of it.

Lycoris squamigera, the resurrection lily or surprise lily, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. It is also sometimes referred to as naked ladies (a name used for several other plants). It is believed to have originated in Japan or China. It is now cultivated as ornamental in many places and naturalized in Korea. Cited from Wikipedia

Tattered wings

 Very hot! very hot!

All over Japan is hit by a heat wave exceeding 35 degrees every day.

A buzzard that was flying about 100m above, with tattered wings, looks perhaps during nesting or maybe after the chicks left the nest.

Eastern Buzzard inhabits central and southern Siberia, Mongolia, China, and Japan.

The birds at the 5th station of Mt.Fuji

Mt.Fuji, as you may know, is the highest, most beautiful mountain in Japan.

Okuniwa located at the 5th station of Mt.Fuji is a limited-season well-known wild bird spot.

This year too, I went there to take some of its pictures.

I will upload six kinds of birds that I took.

I got older so, this is the final visit to the 5th station of Mt.Fuji.

Villagers say that if you worship this rock, you will get along well with your spouse.
