I like grilled pineapple Flowers are refreshing It was delicious.

Memories of summer. It's the last day of summer Vacation. Finally, I was able to yo-yo fishing. After. It was fun and difficult. It's hot today. When I yo-yo, it felt cool.

At dusk, the midsummer sun gradually diminishes its brilliance and begins to tilt into the western sky. The sunflower fields in Kasai Rinkai Park were enveloped in a tranquility that induced township, different from the lively daytime. The sunflowers spread all over the place, shining their faces as if they were sparing the last rays of the sun. At that Time Slot / Time of Day, I was crazy about taking the shutter. In that place where many many sunflowers are in bloom, this one sunflower caught my eye. Illuminated by the setting sun, the gradation of light and shadow woven by the petals was like a painting. I deliberately cut out the brightly colored sunflowers in monochrome because I wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle of color and express the universal beauty of form created by the soft light of dusk and the vitality of looking powerfully at the end of the day. Because it is a world of black and white, the delicate texture of the petals, the powerful stems that stand out in the shadows, and the center that shines in the western sun stand out. It was as if this sunflower was telling us, "Be yourself and shine in any situation." This piece is more than just a summer scene. I took this photo in the hope that it would give hope to the viewer's heart and be deeply engraved in their hearts as an unforgettable memory of the passing summer twilight.

About 5,000 hydrangeas bloom on the shores of vast Paddy Fields in Kaisei Town, Kanagawa Prefecture. Among them, the most beautiful white hydrangea "Annabelle" was shining in the Sunrise that heralded the visit of summer. The contrast between the golden light reflected in the Paddy Fields and the pure Flowers reflects the "blessings of summer" that can be said to be the original scenery of Japan.

Waiting for the rice harvest, the path that runs straight through the golden rice fields and the blue sky that can be seen beyond. I could feel the end of summer and the visit of autumn. However, the temperature was 37 degrees Celsius, and the sunlight was so strong that I felt murderous intent. The gap between the scenery and the eyes was amazing. I wonder if autumn will really come...

Diving connects the 🌏 world Hello. This is 🤗 Hokule'a Shonan The other day, I went to the popular diving spot "Izu Marine Park (IOP)" in Higashi-Izu. This time, we had guests from Spain and guests from the United States living in Japan. It was a 🤿✨ very international dive On the day of the dive, we were divided into two teams: the experience diving team and the fun dive team. The experience diving team started by snorkeling and getting used to the sea. Scene observed colorful fish in a shallow area with high transparency, and the guests seemed 😄 to be having a lot of fun After that, I tried to breathe in water for the first time. I was a little nervous at first, but I soon got used to it and was able to dive calmly. In addition, I tried water photography, and I was able to enjoy 👏 it with so much leeway that I couldn't believe it was the first time The Fun Dive Team aimed for Izu Marine Park's Specialties "Water Post".
