7月頃に咲くそうです。
知らなかった。
ねむの木の花。

奈良県大宇陀の朝焼け。
希望の朝。

奈良公園で出会った人懐っこい鹿さんです。鹿せんべいを持っていなくても、何かしらの期待を抱いてすぐ後ろを追いかけてくる鹿たちにもう一度会いたいです。きっとコロナで奈良公園を訪れる人も少なく、鹿たちも寂しそうにしているかも。コロナが収まったら、たくさん鹿せんべいをあげたいです。

静寂な時を過ごせるこの場所で、疲れた心を癒せる場所は、ぜひアフターコロナで訪れたい場所。
雨乞いの地で、龍の祠がある山で見つけた小さな木のハート、勝手に"龍の心臓"と呼ぶことにしました。

What a beautiful photo! It actually reminded me of the Takeda Castle Ruins. All of the amazing autumn foliage and the sea of clouds in the area. Dang it, now I have to come here in two different seasons lol! I already knew the cherry blossoms were amazing on Mt. Yoshino but now I have to see the autumn foliage as well and hopefully the sea of clouds along with it. I love that you can see Kinpusenji Temple as well. I guess it's a World Heritage Site and I'd love to see it. I wonder if there are any nice inns up here as well. It'd be an amazing experience to stay the night up on the mountain after sightseeing in the area with all the natural scenery and the temple and then have some kaiseki cuisine at a nearby inn... But now I'm just getting myself excited and hungry haha. I'll have to do a bit more research later!

ようやく東塔の修理が終わり、東西の塔が揃って見られるようになった薬師寺。 しかもこの池から昇る満月と寺が一緒に見られるのは、一年のなかでも数回だけ。 そんな中、この日は絵に描いた様に満月に絶妙な雲がかかって、とても幻想的な景色が広がり、まさに1300年前にタイムスリップしたかの様でした。

日本が誇るDEER LAND 奈良公園。古都奈良の景色と現代人の生活が融合した中に、野生の鹿も自然と溶け込んで生きています。写真は大仏殿をバックに、妊娠中の牝鹿がこちらを見ながら微笑んでくれました。 コロナが収まったら多くの人に見てもらいたいです。

とても綺麗でした！

淡い蒼色に、惹かれて。

Tsukigase, looks like a really nice place. I looked at their local website and the natural scenery is all just as amazing as this photo makes it out to be. It looks like they have some really nice parks in the area as well. It looks like it'd be a really great place to go out on a boat on a sunny day. Also looks like it'd be a nice place to catch some fish as well, I wonder if it's allowed here? I guess there are some hot springs in the area as well. The whole area would probably make for a really nice weekend trip or even maybe you could even spend a week here in the spring and go hiking as well. I guess it's Nara so it's not too surprising that there's so much amazing stuff to see!

戦国武将後藤又兵衛の屋敷跡にある樹齢300年の枝垂れ桜。
毎年感動を与えてくれるさくら。

見頃の頃には桃の花も咲きとても美しいです。

アタミザクラで遊んでいました。

Todaiji Temple is so awesome. I remember the first time I went there. I had a professor in college (awesome guy btw) who told the class about his trip there when he was doing research and he told us how massive the temple was. He showed us a picture and pointed out how the people looked like ants in front of the temple. I believed him that it was large of course but I figured maybe it was just the photo's perspective making it look larger. Oh boy, was I in for a treat when I actually got to the temple. It was seriously MASSIVE and the incense burner that he mentioned was out front as well so it was cool that I got to experience all of the things that he was able to experience in the past. I guess that's one thing that makes historical places like this so extraordinary- being able to connect with the past without actually being there. I really loved all the small models there as well lol! I'll certainly never forget my trip to Todaiji and I'd love to visit Nara again when I get the chance.

天気にも恵まれて、美しい雪景色を堪能することが出来ました。
360度、霧氷に包まれて幸せな瞬間でした‼️

辛かった登山の疲れもぶっ飛ぶほどの絶景風景を見ることが出来ました?
青空と霧氷の相性は抜群です‼️

奈良県奈良市にある"ならまち"の雪の日の一枚です。奈良市はあまり雪が積もることがなく、数年ぶりに積雪し元から大好きな街並みが雪景色により更に魅力的になりました。

Man the autumn colors sure were beautiful this year. Hopefully they're just as nice this year. I have no doubt in my mind that they will be. It's been a while since I went to Nara, but I always love watching the videos of deer chasing people around for crackers ? I've yet to go to Hasedera Temple though, it seems like it's not as well known as some of the other ones. Not sure why though, as it looks absolutely beautiful with all the natural scenery surrounding it. The pagoda looks really cool as well. I'm a huge fan of pagodas for some reason though lol. The 3rd picture of the temple kind of makes it look like the common photo you see of Kiyomizudera, but mirrored on the left side instead of the right. Just an interesting observation I had.
