Safari park in Gunma

We were in a safari park in Gunma today.

We were looking the tiger through the window of a bus.

Resting!

Just on two years old (２歳になりました。)

Our older grandson was just on two years old on this Monday.

He is staying our house with his mother and brother now for ten days.

We were in the mall nearby today.

His mother was shopping, he and I were walking in the mall for one and half hours.

After her shopping, we had lunch at an Okinawa restaurant in the mall.

Re-cover lawn (Shibafu no Harikae 芝生の張替え)

This picture is an appearance of last Saturday before re-cover lawn.

This is after re-covered lawn.

I did do that with my grandson.

Here will be back to two years ago.

Staggered seed-1 (時間差種まき－１)

I seeded the sugar peas in the both places last Sunday.

The both are last seeding.

These are second seeding.


These are first seeding of the sugar peas.

I would like to say that the system is a staggered see?!?

Lopping #003 (Lilac ライラック)

A right half of this lilac is withering.

So I lopped the half like this yesterday.

Here is the plant of last year.

New strawberry field -5 (3D field)

Here is fifth 3D strawberry field which was constructed on the same day as the fourth strawberry field.

The left one is fourth.

What will happen next year on the five 3D fields?

Unseasonable plants

This is the tomato with flowers which I shot yesterday morning.

This is a soybean with fruits in the same way.

And I ate these fruits as boiled soybeans on the yesterday morning.

These were very delicious.
But the tomato will not be able to bearing fruit.

Harvest #014 (Persimmon 柿 かき Kaki)

I found out the both persimmons on the foot of the tree this morning.

We got only one persimmon last year.

We will be able to get more than last year.
I had them as dessert of today's dinner.

#065 Japanese silver grass (ススキ Susuki)

The back peach tree has still a lot of leaves.

Here is the pictures of them last year.

But the last year's tree had some leaves.

Here is the pictures of them two years ago.

Are these ears flowers of them?

Yes, they are.

#064 Marigold(マリーゴールド)

There are different color between flowers of this year and last year.

The color appear similar to the flower's two years ago.

Budding and Seeding of the Sugar peas

The sugar peas are budding. This picture was shot yesterday.

This one was shot this morning.

And I was seeding sugar peas again this morning.

The tast was very sweet last year.

I seeded them two places.

A persimmon is coloring.
We will be able to eat them.

#063 Chrysanthemum Shumei (Shumei Giku 襲名菊)

It seems Shumei Giku doesn't have English name.

I have searched a name of it by Google.
The result is following.

"襲名" Shumei means "succession to a person's name" in English.

But I don't think so.

"菊" Kiku or Giku means "Chrysanthemum".

New strawberry field -4 (3D field)

Here is fourth 3D strawberry field which I constructed last Sunday.

Is it still Summer?

I picked up them three days ago.


The following pictures were shot this morning at our garden.

(Soybean)


(Tomato)

(Morning glory-1)

(Morning glory-2)

(Morning glory-3)

New strawberry field -3 (3D field)

This is third 3D strawberry field which I made last Sunday.

The right 3D field is first one.

Here is second one.

I already made others two 3D strawberry fields yesterday.

Seeding sugar peas

I seeded the sugar peas today.

I seeded the plant November 24, 2009.

And I harvested them May 8, 2010.

We will be able to eat them next year.

Photogrpher and Surfer

She was on the sandy beach for two hours.

She was waiting a surfer on the wave for taking several pictures.
A surfer is coming. She was waiting for long time.

It seems that the surfer is waiting to get best wave for long time.

I suppose she took best one.

I was waiting for taking this picture for long time too.
I am the same breed.

A model ship?

A fishing ship came back from offing.

Is it a real ship?

It looks like model ship.

Yes, it is.

The ship returns after fishing young tunas.
