Flower, Bird and Fences;

Let me show you three kinds of pictures for this post;

*Arranged Flower for "Floral Friday"*
This month's theme for "Floral Friday" is arranged flower.  I wondered which vase I would use, glass vase or earthenware vase. Even though it is summer, mine ended up mixture of western and eastern flowers in the earthenware vase :-)

A couple of days later, little white flowers of the tallest one in the center opened more. So I renewed some flowers with pink carnations. Just my own way(*^_^*)

*Black Kites on top of the building*
When we were in down town for an errand, my husband spotted two black kites on top of the building resting on the fence. These pictures were the best I could do from far distance(^^;)  This was my first time to see them 



*Japanese Style Fence*
This house with Japanese Style Fence is located our prefectural capital. I found this house on our way back to see the picture exhibition with my friend. Stone wall with bamboo fence and well-trimmed green trees. It must have been better if it is the season of azaleas are blooming among the stones.

Thank you very much for stopping by;
Expecting busy weekend, see you next week everyone♩

  1. Great photos ! I am delighted flower arrangement ! Wild birds are beautiful but dangerous for small birds. A few weeks ago I saw a hawk attacking a pigeon. It was a shocking sight !

  2. Dearest Miyako,
    You manage three subjects in one posting...
    Lovely flower arrangement and yes, when the white flower opened up more it changed the entire composition. You did well both times.
    Lovely kite photos too.
    And the natural bamboo fence with rocks is lovely as well.
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette

  4. Wow, you do cover all your bases in this post. How lovely the flowers, and the fence scene is beautiful. I agree that azaleas in bloom would certainly be beautiful. I had never seen or heard of a "kite" before, so thought you were going to show us some flying kites, not birds. Interesting. Have a lovely day, and thanks for all the links!

  6. Hello my friend!:) Your flower arrangments are beautiful.You used many flowers that I grow in my greenhouse. I love the everlasting purple flowers, even photographed some today. How wonderful that you were able to photograph the kites, and lucky that your husband spotted them. The house and garden is well presented and I can imagine how pretty it is with the azálias in bloom. Also, I hope you enjoyed the picture exibition.:)Sorry for this long comment,... can't seem to do brief!!:)

  10. Dear Miyako,

    Love the pretty way you have arranged the flowers.
    How wonderful that you got to photograph the kites, magnificent birds and have not seen them before.
    Also love the pretty garden with all the greenery and the bamboo fence.
    Hope you are enjoying the week
    sending hugs from your NZ friend

  11. Bamboo fence suits that garden. Many big stones with moss and great trimmed trees or azalea must be beautiful in the flesh. I like that Japanese style like that.I used to see the house like that in my young days, but they are getting few.
    Enjoy Summer!

  14. I agree with Margaret. Those are some powerful shots. I also like the bamboo fencing along the rock wall. Lovely now, and it must be very striking when the azaleas are blooming.

    Beautiful fence. I love the bamboo atop the stone wall. I imagine it really is gorgeous when the azaleas are in bloom.

  18. You have a lovely way of arranging flowers!! Great shots on the kite, though they remind me our our hawks. So enjoyed the fencing around the home. So different from the ones in the States. Miyako, I always enjoy seeing your part of the world.

  27. Miyako, those black kites are wonderful -- you are a very talented photographer. And I love your flower arrangement -- another talent of yours I see!

    I miss visiting my blogging friends -- travel is wonderful and I am enjoying Alaska so much, but there is not very much time to blog. I will catch up when I can! Don't forget me ;>)))
