I really like this view in front of the entrance to Fujizakura Natural Cemetery Park, which is a hot topic for its autumn leaves as well as its cherry blossoms. You can enjoy the view of Mt. Fuji as a whole and the park. On this day, in addition to the yellow leaves of Mt. Fuji, cool clouds appeared in the sky, adding to the excitement.

As the morning mist disappeared, the sunlight from Mt. Fuji shone on the dewy pasture grass, and the backlit silhouettes of the cows looked incredibly beautiful. This is truly an irreplaceable pastoral scene that can only be seen here in Japan.

3/29 One hour before sunrise, I set up my tripod at the Shiraoyama Park Observatory to take pictures of the cherry blossoms and the town of Fujinomiya. Before dawn, the low morning mist covered the town of Fujinomiya, making it a sea of ​​white. As the sun rose, its light gradually erased the morning mist, and when the mist was all gone, the town became clear and it seemed to be waking up.

Comment:

Angelica flowers are in full bloom in early August, with the inflorescences shaped like sparklers and white flowers blooming on stems about 8m long. At that time of year they can often be seen along Route XNUMX, but it is difficult to match any of them with Mount Fuji, so only a limited number of locations allow for an exquisite composition, and the angelica flowers stand out in the light of the sky, scale clouds, and morning sun, expressing the changing of the seasons.

If you look to the opposite side (i.e., downstream) from the bridge for viewing Shiraito Falls, you can see this unique flow.

The melting snow from Mt. Fuji gushing through gaps in the layers of lava was incredibly cold, so I stood under the waterfall holding an umbrella and imagining it as a lace curtain. Bathed in plenty of negative ions, I felt thoroughly refreshed in both body and mind.

I took my grandchild to Jinba Falls, which is a popular spot for families. At first, he didn't seem to want to go in the water, but after a while, he jumped in and said, "Wow, it's cold!" This photo captures that moment. Even though it was August, it was so cold that he was in the water for even a minute. It was a moment when I realized that it was meltwater from Mt. Fuji, a blessing, and water of gratitude.

The cherry blossoms at Lake Tanuki usually bloom around April 4th, but depending on the year they can sometimes bloom as early as early April. This year they began to bloom in early April. In the morning I prepared my camera before sunrise, waiting for the right moment to take the photo before pressing the shutter.
