Red Spider Lily (Higan-bana) at a Temple;

*Higann-bana (Equinox flower or red spider lily) post again*  

For the word 'higan' please refer to my previous post. Through PC, I found a temple where this seasonal flowers are blooming just an hour and a half drive away from home; never been there before.  My pictures got too bright but I hope you can enjoy them :-)

Viewing the entrance from a bit of above;

The lady is not me, there were some people with cameras taking photos.
I thought these lots of weeping cherry trees would be beautiful with blossoms.

 Well, looking forward to visiting next spring if I can.

I thought I was right choosing weekday to go,

so there were not so many people to enjoy the view.

*Kūkai (空海) or Kōbō-Daishi and  Goddess of Kannon*

Upper Left→ Kōbō-Daishi who was a Japanese monk, poet, and artist, founder of the Shingon etc;

Upper Right→ Statue of the Goddess of Kannon with thirty three little others. I was surprised to know from the sign that these Kannon especially have power for avoiding to get senile. I prayed for it for both of us.

*Pictures of fences*

The temple located a bit up the hill and we drove the path with wood fence;

I hope these Higan flowers can be seen kind of fencing the rice paddy;

This lovely girl (her name is Mei) greeted me at the parking lot♪

*Extra two Flowers*

The Anthurium on the right is birthday present from my cousins along with other goodies last week when we had lunch.

I found the roses on the left with lower than a dollar for each when I was buying flowers for the graves on Equinox Day. And they are with my new Dynabook 8.1(toshiba) which gave me hard time p:)
