Trip to Hokkaido Part 2;


As lavender is the high light of this trip, let me put the different photos
I'd appreciated it if you enlarge this panoramic picture.


                                Shinsen-Numa Marsh
My dragonfly lover husband looked a bit happy seeing new one in the first collage I took but couldn't identify.    
ps> The one we couldn't identify is White-faced Darter.  And one gentleman in our tour group kindly sent me 
his pictures in the second collage.   Its Japanese name is "Ezo ito Tonbo",  direct translation to English might 
be  "Hokkaido string dragonfly" :-)


    Kyogoku Fukidashi Koen 
       We enjoyed the stroll with fresh air and also Spring Water.

Noboribetu Jikokudani  
My friend and I were beside the sign. So I put the flowers I found there :-)



Shakotan-hanto; Shin i-Misaki
We went about 70 % of the way; It was a long walk.  But enjoyed the blue sea♪ 


         Some views from the bus.   First time to see Quarrying in the sea.
                             The mountain is Showashinzan.


          I could see mountain heads among the clouds from the plane on our way back.

   Thank you very much for stopping by.  I always appreciate your sweet visits;
   I'm away from PC until evening today (or tomorrow) so early posting. 
Took me long to write, it is 2am. Night Night for tonight :-)
See you next week♡♡♡

  2. Wow, the view is really breathtaking! Love the field of lavender - such a beautiful color! All the places you visited look so beautiful. I like the setting that you can get spring water. I imagine the water is very cool and fresh :-) And such an interesting sight at Noboribetu. I'd love to visit there myself some day!
    Thank you for sharing your incredible photos. Have a great day, Miyako san xoxo

  12. Such a beautiful post -- I really appreciate visiting this wonderful place along with you and your friend. The panorama shot does look even more wonderful when clicked on to enlarge. Thank you for reminding us to do that.

    I imagine your husband was very happy with the gift of the wonderful dragonfly photos -- and I wish I could get pictures of them that were even half as good. They don't like to hold still for me!
