Was pretty nice weather outside today, felt good to be outside for a bit. Finally got to work out again, wasn't able to since I had to wait after getting my first shot of the vaccine. Trying to eat a bit healthier lately, avoiding sweets and stuff like that. The convenience stores in Japan are really amazing for having pretty tasty salads and even different varieties. Wouldn't be able to find that at most convenience stores in America. I've been trying to do some meal planning but I need some more recipes so I'm not just eating the same thing though. Not being able to go outside much this year was a little rougher on my body than I would have imagined. Managed to put on a couple pounds lol. Gotta get back in shape before winter, though, the heat helps with weight loss which is nice. The weather is supposed to be pretty decent this weekend too, so hopefully that doesn't change. Would like to go to the river and have a picnic or something like that. That's all for today I guess. Here's a photo of a station I took a few days ago. Thought it looked kind of neat with all the wires and everything. Would probably be better with a nicer camera though lol

夏の昭和記念公園で撮ったひまわり畑です。
夏といったらやっぱり、この鮮やかな黄色のひまわりを見ると気分も上がりますし自分も明るくなるように思います。
元気に咲いているうちは夏を感じ、だんだん萎れてくるにつれて夏の終わりが近いと感る、まさに夏の定番だと思います。

通勤中に「夏だなあ」と感じた空！
思わず、シャッターを切りました?

群馬県の富岡製糸場

強い日差しの中、近所の神社にて
そよ風に揺れる風鈴が踊っているかのようでした

コロナ前に東京の昭和記念公園で撮りました。
この日は真夏日で日差しが強く、向日葵がとても生き生きして見えました。
個人的に季節の中では夏が好きで、明るい太陽やカラフルな自然を見ていると気分も上がってきます。

今年の夏はコロナがどうなる事かわかりませんが、夏を満喫できたらいいなと思います。

コロナ前に名古屋へ旅行に行ったときに撮りました。季節は夏でとてもよく晴れていてとても暑かったのを覚えています。
このときの名古屋城は工事をしていて、残念ながら城の中に入ることはできなかったので、周りを散策していました。

名古屋は食べ物も美味しいものがたくさんありましたし、また名古屋城に行って中も見てみたいなぁと思っているので、ワクチンが広まって安全に出かけられるようになってくれればいいなと思います。

鹿児島県奄美大島大和村今里。奄美市から行って１番奥の集落です。立神が目の前にあるのでお気に入りの場所です。コロナを気にせずにドライブしたいです。?

Really amazing view. I'd like to visit Yamaguchi for this and Akiyoshido Cave that I shared a post about last week. This view really looks like something you'd see in Okinawa which is pretty cool since you don't have to leave mainland Japan to see it. I'm not sure if the weather is as good as Okinawa, but judging by this photo it's at least as good on some days. I just wanna sit on a beach, crack a beer and relax under the sun, maybe do a little swimming and just chill out for the day being a beach bum. I know Tsunoshima has some pretty nice beaches too so it'd definitely be nice if I travel down south at all. Of course, as the original post says, I too hope that corona ends as fast as possible so that people can get back to their normal lives and enjoy some of this amazing scenery for themselves

What a cute picture! Before coming to Japan I never really payed much attention to the natural scenery and wildlife, but, and I don't if it's because I've aged or because Japan has so much natural beauty, I've come to appreciate it much more. Seeing photos like this I just can't help but think how amazing it is. It's so cool that it can just hang upside down like that too lol. It's such a beautiful photo, capturing not only nature in the cherry blossoms and with the cute bird, but the clear blue skies above them as well. It's another one of those photos where you can practically feel what the weather was like on the day it was taken.

Been seeing a lot of photos of nemophila lately and they're all really beautiful. I'd love to go see them myself. I know there's Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki and I've been over there before, but I didn't know about the park at the time sadly, so I didn't get the chance. It's not too far from central Tokyo though and I know people over in Ibaraki so it's definitely something I'm considering. Not sure how long nemophila are in bloom though, so I'll have to look that up if I don't want to go and have them not be there anymore lol. Today the weather was really great though, hasn't been this warm in a while. Loving it and hope it keeps up like this!

私の地域では桜のシーズンも終了。
その中でもまだ残っているのがあり、今日撮影。

This is what I like to see! It's getting warmer and warmer with each passing day and the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom nicely. This weekend was alright, Saturday was a bit rainy but Sunday and today were really clear and the weather was great. Starting to feel like tshirt weather is coming soon! I love seeing the photos and other stuff about the Kawazu cherry blossoms, it really helps me get in the spring spirit! Going to try and get outside the city this weekend or next and see some of the cherry blossoms in Saitama or something, as unfortunately, Kanagawa is a liiittle too far for a day trip lol. We'll see what happens though. Either way I'm gonna see some cherry blossoms!

Today was nice and warm today, I even opened the window for a bit and let the breeze roll in. Hoping it continues like this although apparently Saturday it's supposed to rain. I'm looking forward to getting out this spring and enjoying riding some bicycles myself. The cherry blossoms should start blooming nicely in Tokyo next week so that's something nice to look forward to as well! I'll have to look for some good parks to ride in. There's a bike rental down the road from where I live and it's really cheap which is nice so hopefully I can make use of it. That or I'll just head out further into the countryside lol. Either way, looking forward to spring!
