When I take beautiful photos I am very happy.
Today I was going to the post office to post new year cards by bike in late afternoon.
And as I found cloud in the sky I went to the north in Shirahama.
I took this photo at Itado area. The sun was going into the west mountain.
I show you one more photo ……..
As my daughter had a table tennis game at Shimoda junior high school I took her by car in early morning.
On the way to our home from the school I found that the sun was rising on the ocean.
That sun was shining like a diamond.
This is a real nature.
The weather forcast tell us the weather correctly recently.
It had been warm until yesterday but it was changed and became very cold today.
I took this photo at the top of mountain behind Pension Sakuraya.
We can get a view of all of Shirahama beach, Izu Oshima island and Amagi mountains from here.
Last Sunday we went to Mishima for shopping all together.
I think the last time which I went to Mishima with my family was 2 years ago.
This is a picture over looking Shirahama, which I took at Ogasaki Wing, the entrance of Shimoda city.
It was sunny and gorgeous day, but we had strong wind. So we could see the white waves over there.
We started to go again to get to Mishima city……
How do you think about this?
It started to rain last night and came to Shimoda with strong wind.
My daughter didn’t have classes of the school today because of this strong storm.
It seemed like a movie the big wave coming over that protection from the wave.
I show you the picture of this port, which I took under the sunshine…….
I heard that there are some cherry trees "Kawazu Sakura" which have cherry blossoms in Kawazu town now.
As the blooming was very late this winter they are still blooming.
This is a same kind of cherry tree which is in front of the entrance of Pension Sakuraya.
After blooming this tree already has a lof of cherry now. ….
Today my son Yuuki and I went to "Shirahama Chuou Beach" by car.
When we were going down the hill to Route 135 we found the blue sea after about 1 week.
In these days we had not be able to see the sea and the mountain clearly.
After parking our car at the parking lot near the beach we got into the beach soon.
When we got to the seaside the tide was at its lowest and there were rocks along the beach side…..
Have you ever seen this?
It’s called "Tsukushi" in Japanese (Horsetail in English).
I took this photo in Minami-Izu town yesterday.
We Japanese feel a spring with this horsetail.
Yes, spring has come in Izu peninsula.
I show you today’s Shirahama beach …….
Minami Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) and Nanohana (Rape Blossoms) festival which started on February 5 was finished yesterday, March 10.
As my wife wanted to go to Shimoda for shopping my son and I went together and we went to Minami Izu town to see the flowers.
In Shimogamo there is a big field of rape blossoms and when we got to this field my son started to run into the rape blossoms. ……
Last week I went to Suzaki Walking Trail for the first time with my son, Yuuki.
I moved to Shimoda 15 years ago but I have never been there.
There is a bus line from Shimoda station but we went there by car this time.
The walking trail is 2,8km. I think this is not long but we can walk on the seaside looking Izu seven islands and ships going across the sea…..
