I’m glad to know you enjoy these photos which reminded you of Basho’s haiku.<br /><br />As you may know; “Waraji”, sandals made of straw or rush, have thongs that are put between the big toe and the other toes. Basho put bluish-purple, Iris-colored thongs presented by his friend on the day of his departure to continue his travel. Iris was used to drive away evil spirits. His friend wished Basho’s safe trip by the color of iris. Basho showed his gratitude in this haiku.<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-91530189106570049642016-06-30T05:12:28.466+09:002016-06-30T05:12:28.466+09:00水際に咲く花は、水面に映えるのも楽しめるので華がありますね。日本的な風光明媚な景色で郷愁の念に駆られ...水際に咲く花は、水面に映えるのも楽しめるので華がありますね。日本的な風光明媚な景色で郷愁の念に駆られてしまいましたが、梅雨の時期であるのを思い出すと帰国に二の足を踏んでしまいます^_^私のブログにコメント頂きありがとうございます。お体ご自愛ください。<br />YoshiYoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262500744784559114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-5141364602612181462016-06-30T03:17:23.735+09:002016-06-30T03:17:23.735+09:00Such beauty!

I do think our weather and flora is very similar. These photos could certainly have been taken in central Florida. I'm always delighted by two things that characterize your pictures - the aura of serenity they give off and the light. Good photography always has to do with the light and you have mastered that aspect of it! I hope you have a wonderful summer also. We are fine but it is unusually hot here so far with 97 F expected today!
