During the beautiful wisteria season, I decided to go to a certain flower park. I triumphantly straddled the motorcycle, but there was no sign of it arriving farther than I expected. At that time, as I proceeded to be drawn by the words "Great Wisteria in Tamaki Park" that appeared on the sign, a magnificent wisteria tree appeared, which was as good as the famous wisteria. I bought coffee and fried bread nearby, ate it while watching, immersed myself in the calm atmosphere of the surroundings, which is not found in large facilities, and went home satisfied that day.

? Bench along the Kurome River in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in the rainy season, and slow down thoughts in autumn and winter. smile I was worried about job hunting and used the bench I often used when I went for a walk. When you sit down, you can see the Kurome River in front of you, and it flushes your failures and worries into the water.

Shot at Sakitama Kofun Park, famous for cherry blossoms blooming on top of burial mounds in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. At night, there was a clear weather forecast and I took out my camera and appreciated the cherry blossoms and starry sky under the cold sky. The rays of light running down the stairs were caused by the flashlights held in the hands of the students who came to admire the cherry blossoms at night. I really like the way the rays bounce and ripple as you descend the stairs, as if to express that the students were also enjoying this space. I also find the contrast between the pale lines of the background drawn by the stars and the intense light of artificial light interesting.
