更級公園に咲いている夏の青い花は、アガパンサスというのだそうです。

真光寺の森の中に咲いた赤いアジサイが、深緑を背景に眩しく光っています。

一面の大根畑を夏の夕日が包みます。富士山の有名な撮影場所です。

深緑を背景に、ガクアジサイが咲いています。

Against a backdrop of blue hydrangeas, the oakleaf hydrangeas were blooming beautifully with white flowers. This is also a scene from Shinkō-ji Temple.

This is a variety called “Konpeito” among the hydrangeas at Shinkō-ji Temple, and its blue color is particularly beautiful. Its shape looks just like that traditional Japanese candy.

Right now, many colorful hydrangeas are in bloom at Shinkō-ji Temple. This variety is called “Dance Party,” and its deep pink color is absolutely beautiful.

These are lacecap hydrangeas blooming at a small shrine near the Kofudai Housing Complex. The blue flowers stand out beautifully against the blue sky.

It’s that time of year when you can enjoy all kinds of hydrangeas. One evening, I casually snapped a photo of some lacecap hydrangeas blooming by the roadside.

At the annual Iris Festival, four young women dressed in traditional costumes served as models.
