Japan is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes that never fail to amaze. One such enchanting place is where the sky seemingly merges with a breathtaking sea of flowers. While the scene is captivating, it’s the lady in yellow that catches your eye; her presence adds a unique charm to the landscape. She resembles a bird, gracefully dancing with the breeze, embracing the horizon with joy. It’s a moment that beautifully captures the spirit of freedom and the wonders of nature.

A sea of clouds to yourself

This time, an aerial portrait with a drone!

This is a "sapling Ruins of the Castle" with a Ruins of the Castle in the sky.
A place known only to those who know it as a sea of clouds Spot in Gifu Prefecture. From the Observation decks of the Ruins of the Castle, you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama. The day after it rains, the day after that, the day after that, is the aim of the sea of clouds.

Daigo Sakura, Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture
I went to Daigo Sakura for the first time, which I had wanted to visit for a long time.
I arrived at around 4 a.m. in the morning, and even though it was already a weekdays, there were about 40 photographers taking pictures, and it was difficult to take pictures because it was filled with tripods and it was a dark place, but I managed to take a picture, and above all, the Milky Way and starry sky cherry blossoms seen with the naked eye were pitch black and Impression even if I couldn't see them.
The lights of the cars hit the cherry blossoms on the way

Hydrangea Wreath
Thursday, April 10
From Onesmanorgarden
We invited garden planner Instructor Sato
to lead a hydrangea wreath-making lesson.

How to make the wreath:
Attach dried hydrangeas and other flowers, berries, and leaves to a base.

It sounds very simple in words,
but dried flowers crumble easily, and the attaching work requires a lot of technique.

It’s hard to handle them gently while securing them firmly…

Looking at the other participants,
they used a unified color palette for their materials and arranged them thoughtfully.
They balanced areas with abundant, soft volume and places made sleek and tidy.

I just attached things as they came and barely finished,
but seeing the completed piece still filled me with joy.

I also learned how to make a stylish ribbon.

Thank you, Instructor Sato, and everyone who joined the lesson!
