On 9th, we went to the "Cosmos Fair" with my friend held at the park in the town about 1.5 hour away from home. Today I wish you to just enjoy some of the pictures I took. It was my first visit there and I was surprised with the huge space :-)

| ＊Mexican fireweed＊ This plant is called "houki-gusa; broom weed" in Japanese. As you can guess, one theory of the name's origin is used to be used as broom. |
*Butterfly Area*
Along the walk way to the cosmos area, there was a small section where we could see butterflies. Not may of them we could enjoy (may be a bit late). But these three girls (let me say so, haha) made my day as well.

I'm holding my father's one year memorial service on 7th. I'll visit you as soon as possible after that, friends♪
Hello Miyako, what a beautiful sight to see.. The fields of Cosmos are just gorgeous.. I would like to walk around these pretty flowers.. The fireweed is pretty too, lovely colors. Wonderful post and beautiful photos! Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteHi, Miyako, such lovely pictures you have shared with us today. Hope the memorial service for your father goes well; such a lovely way to remember him. Hugs from Texas, and wishes for a lovely Sunday.

Absolutely beautiful, Miyako!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see such a field of cosmos!! They are such pretty flowers - and so easy. I have them in my garden, they came up from seeds that "volunteered" here two years ago, and since then they are a reliable presence here. They don't need any care, nor water and readily re-seed.
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful place! It's like dreamland...,It must have been so wonderful to walk through these cosmos. Your photos are amazing! Butterflies are very beautiful, too. The Chinese Windmill is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new week, Miyako san!
Dear Miyako, these are some beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHope that you are doing fine over there.
Hugs,
Eva
The cosmos are glorious! Talk about surrounding yourself in beauty! Wow! Also love your header and your butterfly shots. May your memorial service be an honor to your father. All our best from the US! Marie
ReplyDeleteHi Miyako, I have never seen cosmos that tall before, maybe it is good fertiliser in the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are lovely, I'm looking forward to summer and the flowers and butterflies. It is very squally here today but not too cold, a short blast from departing winter.
love,
Diana

Miyako these photos are exquisite! I wondered when I saw the title of your post if these would be the cosmos we know -- and they are -- but I have never seen so many at once. How absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBut the butterfly on flower pictures are the ones that have me in utter awe. Absolutely incredible pictures and you know their names. Just wonderful; I can't say enough good things about these pictures.
I know the Memorial Service for your dear Father will be hard, but I know it will be perfect because you are doing it!
