Mountain Laurel as promised
Ooooh! So pretty! 😊
Thanks for sharing 😁
@JN63JPN you’re welcome, the entire top of that mountain is covered with them! You have to see it in person to get the full scope of how many there are!

The flowers are incredible!!
If it rains when we have fishing planned, we usually fish anyway. Other times we hole up and watch movies.
The fish don't care if it rains or not 😂
More amazing pictures!!!
Glad you like 😁
What gorgeous flowers! and Already GW..
I guess this weekend may not start with shiny days but it will be a great excuse to have relax and stay longer in bed😊. Wherever you go, it will be packed with people during this period.
I went to Sumatakyo and although there were people out and about, it wasn't jam-packed and the traffic wasn't too bad, either.
BEEautidul! So gorgeous. Golden week coming up next month? You have any travel plan, this year?
I'm going to a flea market at Makuhari Messe 🙂
If it rains during my travels? I get wet, of course. As I once read in a children's book, "I am neither sugar nor salt that I will melt in the rain."
I might not melt, but getting wet and not in a good way is highly unpleasant 😂
@JN63JPN This is why they invented raingear
True story: I was out on a hike on a day that was forecast to be clear and sunny. It was cloudy as I started, it got progressively cloudier as I hike, and when I got to the top of the ridge an hour later, it was full-on raining. Good thing I always carry an emergency poncho in my pack! (I could have skipped the hike entirely but I'd driven just under 2 hours to get to the trailhead)
@JacksonHoleGuy
I look at the forecast for mountain weather since the weather changes so quickly in the Hakone area. I usually drive so no problem in packing extra gear 🙂
@JN63JPN Oh, same here in the Tetons. It's not so much a case of "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes" so much as "if you don't like the weather forecast, wait 5 minutes"
An entire lane bordered by azaleas? Gorgeous!
I try not to let Mother Nature hinder my outings. I do avoid cold rain ... I think it's worse than snow.
There's a street bordered by azaleas. It was really gorgeous!
Apart from the occasional big spider, insects here tend to be small. But the smallest ones like midges tend to be the most troublesome.
I hate it whenever I come across a swarm of gnats 😬
Great photos!!! Bees are amazing and much needed.
They're cute to watch collecting pollen 😁
Monster hornets 😬🐝. Hope you didn’t see any of those. Great pictures!
I've seen a couple of monster hornets buzz by when I go on nature hikes. Not pleasant. 😬
Love a good botanical garden or park that is in full bloom. And the purples are always a favorite
It's nice enjoying the sights and scents in a flower park 😊
That looks like quite a peaceful place.
When it's rainy on my travels, it usually means it is a cycling day. Since I go on inn to inn trips, it means the only way to get there is enduring the rain. Over the years, I have improved, but not perfected, my rain gear. Those days turn out to be the memorable ones with my friends.
It's really peaceful early in the morning with birds merrily chirping away 🙂
Beautiful pics!
I love it when the scenery is bursting with colors 😁
@JN63JPN my azaleas are still coming into bloom, the native have tapered off and the mountain laurels are coming in now! Next time I come across the mountain I will try to get a few pictures.
@Bigwilly3392c
Looking forward 😁
@JN63JPN finally able to get me a calcumber magnolia (aka tobacco leaf). Hope it lives!
@Bigwilly3392c
My friend dug up a Japanese maple sapling while we were out and about. She hopes it survives 😂
@JN63JPN caught this today, I think it’s either a heron or a crane, not sure being that I don’t know which nests in trees.
@Bigwilly3392c
Awesome! 😁
Such beauty!! ❤️
I try to catch the flowers as they bloom
@JN63JPN i bet you look cute while u do that! ❤️
Fantastic photos. Bees going to buzz
They look right at you while they're hovering. 🤨
@JN63JPN have some aggressive bugs and variety where I live
@JN63JPN along with hairy varmints
