Ajisai (hydrangea) flowers: Kita-kamakura (Genji-yama)
The mysterious chemistry of the rain makes Ajisai flowers assume exquisite hues of watercolors.
The tender sunlight coming down from the gray rainy sky is harmonizing with these moisty colors as if it were intended secretly.
In this quiet and moist season, Ajisai flowers keep changing their delicate colors gradually by the subtle interplay between the fruitful rain and their own plant pigments.

Sui-ren (water lily) flower: Kita-kamakura
The gentle morning rain passed over and left gleaming waterdrops behind on the flower and leaves of water lily.
Just after the period when Sui-ren is in bloom, the rainy season arrives here to foster the lively growth of every living thing.
This precious flower of Sui-ren seems to be a beautiful manifestation of the mercifulness which this universe has on us in the season of a blessed rain.
Iwatabako (Conandron ramondioides) flowers: Tokei-ji
In the shade of trees, the small violet flowers of Iwatabako are blooming inconspicuously on the moss-covered rock surface.
A thin ray of sunshine filtering through the dense branches of trees is tenderly illuminating these dainty and fragile flowers.
Tsukubai (stone washbasin) : Zuisen-ji
In the quiet shade of thick green leaves, a small stone statue of Jizo Kannon is standing still to receive the visitors to this remote Zen temple.
