Lotus & Sunflower 2012

Lotus

I visited Kojindani Archaeological Park located in Shimane Prefecture where famous for lotus, but almost all flowers had fallen. No.10 photo is the one taken there. Instead, I found a very small lotus colony in the northern end of Hiroshima City and took other photos.

Sunflower in 2011

Japan had a big earthquake in 2011 and I ceased updating galleries for a while. So I add 2011 photos one year later here. Unlike 2012, sunflowers were in bloom only in a small part of fields in Fujikane area then I took individual flower with tele macro lens.
