The end of the 梅雨 Apricot Rains was announced officially on June 27 in Kansai region.
Rainy season usually ends in mid-July when seasonal rain front is pushed northward
by a strong Pacific high-pressure system.

The temperature has
hit 35 C or higher since the late June when temperatures
are typically milder at between 25C and 30C.
I’ve loved the relatively cool weather during the Apricot Rains before the arrival of
full force of summer.
There are so many nice things during the season.
Hydrangeas are the floral symbol of the Apricot Rains.
Hydrangeas thrive along a brook in the Nagai Botanical Garden, Osaka City.

It was a hot and humid day.
I tried to be in the shade as much as possible.
Umbrella Sky suspended on a path is a popular insta-worthy spot.
These umbrellas would have served mostly as parasols during the short-lived,
dry rainy season.
The ethereal sound
of the wind bell brings out the coolness.
I love blue Hydrangeas.
Vibrant red Common coral-tree flowers and violet-colored Jacaranda shine in the summer sun.

At home, the cake named Hydrangea reminded me of the Hydrangea garden.

ReplyDeleteHello Yoko,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the garden, great captures of the droplets. The Hydrangeas are lovely.
I would like to walk on the path under the umbrellas, looks so pretty. Take care, have a great day!
I would love to walk under that Umbrella Sky, such beautiful colours. We have had some 35C days too, but today it is 22C, a light breeze and some sun and cloud. I wish you and your family a happy and safe summer Yoko!
ReplyDeleteLove how the transparent umbrellas splash their magic onto the path below. Your raindrop captures are soul-quenching, stardust.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Yoko. I agree that rain makes for lovely photos in the spring and in the summer. Your temperatures would be too hot for me right now. I hope they cool down for you so you can enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers and trees.
ReplyDeleteI loved walking with you Yoko, though I wouldn't do well with the humidity. Your photos are dream-like. I can almost hear the moisture dripping from the blooms. Think of me when you next enjoy Hydrangea cake! Barb
