Fence and Flowers;

*For Tex's "Good Fences"*
On my way back from the temple I visited to see "Higan-bana", I saw very idyllic scene which I can't see in my city. Trees are fencing the large rice paddy field, I asked my husband to stop the car and luckily he found the space to park:-) 
I may not pay attention to the beauty of these scene without blogging and Tex's meme (^_^)




*For Trishie's "Floral Friday" and DeniseinVA's "TODAY'S FLOWERS"*
Especially for the theme of the "Floral Friday" which is "garden flowers", these flowers are from my dear friend's garden taken in the middle of last month.
Crape-myrtle, we call this flower "百日紅、サルスベリ"
These two Japanese names have different context even if we call both characters "saru-suberi".  First character means "redish for 100 days" and second one means "monkey slip" due to the tree sap.  Dictionary said not exactly so p-:)
White ones were a bit late;

Chinese trumpet vine;
sorry, don't know the name;

Linking this post to "Good Fences""Floral Friday" and "TODAY'S FLOWERS".

          Thank you very much for stopping by;                           
                      Happy October, friends.  And I'll see you soon♪

  3. Dearest Miyako,
    What a lovely scenery you show us in those top photos; glad you managed to stop!
    Love your Crape-myrtle photos and yes, they do emit a very sticky sap, that is nearly impossible to get off your car... We did have a huge white one next to the driveway but we had to cut it. Soiling the cars parked there, the concrete and also our balcony. We have a baby from that big white one and it is in the lawn behind the gazebo where no problems exist.
    Hugs to you and thanks for sharing the botanical beauty!

  4. Hi Miyako san. What a beautiful scenery of rice paddy field! And the trees make such lovely and natural fence. Colors of the field is amazing. I love 田園風景 in Japan :-)
    Sarusuberi looks very pretty! Interesting that Kanji character reads Sarusuberi.
    Happy October, Miyako san. I bet your favorite cake shop is having cute Halloween display. I see orange/black a lot in stores here :-)

  12. Beautiful scenery --- digital cameras and blogging have certainly made me see beauty where I might not have noticed it before!

    We saw our first crape myrtle only a few years ago when we were traveling in the south. (It does not bloom in western US)... I couldn't get over how lush and lovely it is.

  15. That trumpet vine has huge blossoms!! Very pretty. Here in Texas, the trumpets are the same color, but not so big. I'm jealous.

  16. Beautiful blooms! I agree "I may not pay attention to the beauty of these scene without blogging and Tex's meme." Thanks again to Theresa who brings us together and prompts us to really look.

  17. The nostalgic autumn rice paddy view! The smoky makes me feel autumn. I like the view like this. Because I'm a Japanese,I wonder.
    Have a nice day!

  26. What an eye you have and bless you husband for stopping and allowing you to take pictures so you could share with us. The perfect tree fence ... something I haven't seen around here ... or maybe I have and didn't realize that was the purpose. Your Mertyl is gorgeous ... one can almost imagine the aroma coming from them. I love trumpet vines too ... the Chinese vines look just like ours and they are so prolific ... they grow and grow and pretty soon you are cutting them back out of desparation ... but when they bloom, they are beautiful. Wonderful post, Orchid ... thank you!

    Lovely scenery taken of the rice paddy fields and isn't it interesting that you see things in a different light with blogging.
    Love the Myrtle blossoms and such a lovely shade of pink.
    Happy weekend dear friend.

  35. Incredibly beautiful unspoiled scenery in Japan, so lovely with the deep green hills and light green rice paddy. The tree fence is so cute, do you know what tree it is? I think Osage Orange is used like that in the S. USA. I grew up seeing lots of Crape Myrtles in Houston, I've seen them blooming up here in a couple of attractions in Portland. The flowers are so frothy.

    The last photos of cute pink flowers are called Oxalis, I'm not sure what variety. They have 3-part leaves like clover. I have some as house plants that are dark burgundy and triangular, and some that come up as weeds and are also burgundy with little yellow flowers.
