Hydrangeas flowers at Hannya-ji Temple, Nara City, Nara
2025-06-14 Visited Hannya-ji Temple on a rainy day to see the hydrangeas flowers. I worried about the flowers immersed in the water of glass bowls as they looked too much artificially decorated when saw in a guidebook, but they were beautiful than I thought.

Iris, not a dataset but the real ones in Yagyu, Nara City
2025-06-07 Visited the iris garden in Yagyu to see iris flowers. Only 20% of the flowers were in bloom, so seems a little early. Still, they were beautiful and able to see lots of dragonflies and some frogs. (All photos taken with SIGMA sd Quattro) Map
