Photo by myself of the forest of Syousenkyo on Yamanashi prefecture.
I am glad of there being such nature in Japan.

On the end of last week, Hata3 and my partner went for a drive to Shousenkyo of Yamanashi prefecture. This is a photograph of the states of a river flowing through Shousenkyo.

The river passes through big rocks and stones rolling rumblingly and drifts. I tried that I photographed dynamism of the streamflow by an exposure for a long time.

Photo by myself of the plants of the southern countries.

In Tokyo, rain continues to fall from last week and temperature is low for August. Although my work began, I feel nostalgic for a holiday in Okinawa. I upload some photos of the rare plants of Okinawa today. I don't know that name and I've never seen them in Tokyo.

Photo by myself of a sea turtle, in Tokashiku beach of Tokashiki Island, Okinawa.

I challenged underwater photography in this trip for the first time. Because the sea was too clean, I could see the inside of the sea very well. Thus I have bought a disposable underwater camera unintentionally at the stand of the hotel. That camera was a thing such as the toy, but came out quite well.

After all we have met a wild sea turtle by a happy chance. It is said that even a local people can rarely watch a sea turtle. But we watched a sea turtle with our own eyes more than 30 minutes. That was very lucky for us. I was slightly scary first because the body of sea turtle was very big. However, sea turtle was a gentle animal, and he just ate seaweed innocently.

The photography in the water is very difficult. My body is not stable, and the fish do not stop for me. But I was extremely happy.

Photo by myself of a small butterfly in the Kinuta park.

A small butterfly stopped on a leaf. The butterfly seemed to take a rest calmly to me. Will the butterfly be tired under the hot weather, too?

Photo by myself of a cast-off shell of a cicada at Kinuta park.

When I was a little child, I used to collect insects with an insect net and a cage. And then I made a specimen of insects well for my homework of the summer vacation. So, when I found this cast-off shell of a cicada at the Kinuta park, I remembered my elementary school days with fondness and I was excited a little bit.

However, I have never seen a child doing insect-collecting in Tokyo. Many of children of Tokyo might be fascinated with their computer games or might be busy going to the private cramming school. It is the slightly sad situation for children, isn't it?
