Cosmos Flower Field

 I went to a cosmos flower field in Kinu Green Park to take pictures yesterday.

Hot summer days have gone behind Utsunomiya city now.
It was a very pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Higanbana Flowers

I went to Takanezawa Green Park located in northeast of Utsunomiya to play tennis and to see a cosmos flower field.

I played tennis from 8:30 in the morning to 4:00 in the evening.

I've been very exhausted by playing tennis so long.

During a short lunch break, I took several pictures of cosmos and red spider lily (Higanbana in Japanese).

They were very beautiful, weren’t they?

My Favorite Summer Scenes

The day before yesterday is Autumnal Equinox Day; the length of day and night is the same on the day. I’m happy to have cooler days from now, but at the same time, I feel sad that sever hot days have gone.
For my memory of this summer, I upload two pictures I like. I took both pictures after a weekly practice of tennis game in August.

By the way, I was defeated at a tennis match two weeks ago not only by the skill of the opponent but also, I guess, summer heat and fatigue of business trip to Taiwan.

Today, again, I had tennis match with CANON members against ASHIKAGA bank team. I took part in a singles match and won today!
Summer heat and travel exhaustion didn’t help my opponent today.

Kinu Green Park

I went to Kinu Green Park to take flower pictures yesterday.

Kinu Green Park is located near Kinu river in the eastern part of Utsunomiya, about thirty minutes driving from my home.

It becomes warmer and warmer in my town, the field mustard flowers in the park were beautifully in full bloom.

As it was clear sky, we could see Nasu mountains far away to the north from the park.
