Japanese White-Eye

In the afternoon, I heard the carol of Japanese White-Eye.
I found them in the thicket of cherry tree, after long interval.


I'm so glad to see them.


The white-eye has a distinctive white band around its eyes.
I think it's just like an actor of Kabuki!

A couple of White-Eyes ｆｌｙ around from branch to branch in the cherry tree.

They have picked some warms.

A closed up shot is here. 

He (She?) looks like toughness to compare with their winter season style.

Another couple of White-Eyes.

Thank you so much to your visiting.

See you next time!

The night view of Harumi Quay

I had seen the luxury liner from my office window, yesterday.
So I had visited to the "Passenger Vessel Terminal" beside the Harumi quay, after finished today's task of my job.


The luxury liner named "Fuji-Maru" was berthed at a pier in Harumi quay.
I had looked around the vessel from the deck of terminal.


Fuji-Maru was too large, so I couldn't take picture the whole view of vessel in one screen.
At first, I will show you the bow of Fuji-Maru.

The body view of Fuji-Maru is here.

The picture by my Smart-phone's camera.

You can find the Rainbow Bridge in the distant view.

And the other side of quay, I saw the beautiful night view of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo-Tower.

Moon was shining in the sky. 

Tokyo Tower

Thank you so much to your visit. See you !

Sunrise

Today, I waked up in early morning, so I had taken some pictures of sun rise.
In the Chiba-Pref. area, today's sun-rising time was on 4:46 a.m.

I'll show you them.

The wide view. You can see the tower of Narita-san Shinshoji Temple at the right side of picture. 

The Close-up view. It seems to be the view of sunset.

In the south sky, I found the white moon. 

It was just a half moon, today.

Rain drops on the flower !

Yesterday, I went to see the wisteria named "Captain Wisteria" in Kyo-ouji Temple of Nippori.
But the flowers of wisteria were already finished, so I couldn't see and take pictures at all.


Instead of wisteria, I've taken some pictures of rain drops on the Azaleas flowers.
The gynaeceum of Azaleas hold many drops.
They seemed just like crystal, I think.

The vines of wisteria also hold many rain drops.
It seemed so curious scene.
Just like the eggs of flogs.

When I took pictures, I saw a "common bluebottle" (a kind of swallowtail butterfly).

Rain drop fall down into the "Rain Barrel" in frot of the hall of Temple.

(fin.)

Nature scene is beautiful !

In the morning, there are so many moisture drops on the leaves in my garden.
So I have taken some pictures.

They are shining in the morning sun.

In the evening, I found big sun in the west sky.

The sun was dropping down into the horizon with orange light on the water surface.

Close up

You can see the bridge of New Airport Access Line.

In the night, I found the crescent moon in the west sky.

Through the zooming lens, I can recognize the cratered surface of moon.

The Nature is so beautiful ! 

Thank you so much for your visiting.

Today's Photograph

Today, I have attended the meeting of the study group in Sophia University.

On the way to the university, I have checked Japanese wisteria named 'Captain Wisteria' of Kyo-ouji temple in Yanaka.

There are some cluster of flower bud. 

I expect that a flower will be in full bloom.

After checking Wisteria, I went to university.

On the bank beside the university street, I found the fantastic view of the tunnel of cherry tree.

Most of cherry blossoms are already fallen, I found a few tree which is blooming.
