There was a lot of water in Lake Tanuki, and the pier overlapped with the water's surface, creating a double diamond Fuji in the mirror, a rare and beautiful sight.

Fires were set in the fields one after another, and pillars of fire suddenly burst into flame. The air flickered with scorching flames, and Mount Fuji also flickered. Mount Fuji was burning! Like a raging fire.

I heard that a lot of snow had fallen in the Asagiri area on the National Foundation Day, so I went out to Lake Tanuki. There was more snow than I had expected, and it was piled up on the surrounding roads and tree branches. I was thrilled to see the picturesque scenery reminiscent of a snowy country.

At a campsite on a sunny holiday in late May, with fresh greenery shining. Another key point is the poles and ropes in the foreground, which seem to mimic the ridgeline of Mt. Fuji.

I met a lovely couple in the grounds of Sengen Shrine, where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Their backs looked like they were in a "moment of bliss." I asked the couple if I could take a photo of their backs, and they agreed, so I did.

"The Village Garden"
Winner

Comment:
While traveling by car, I noticed a beautiful cluster of flowers growing beside a narrow waterway for rice paddies. I was feeling confused because I didn't know what kind of pink flowers made up the majority of the flowers, but then I had the opportunity to talk to the landowner and when I asked him the name of the flower, he told me it was a "fly-weed dianthus." He treated them as if they were weeds, saying, "I thought I'd pulled them all out, but it seems the seeds were left behind and so they've come back like this," but to me they are the very definition of a beautiful "village flower garden."

The roses at Shiraito Nature Park are four-season roses that can be enjoyed from spring to autumn. In particular, the roses in spring have large, vibrant petals and many varieties bloom in full glory, drawing many visitors.
