Lantern Festival and Japanese Pheasant；

(Sorry, header’s changed for the newer post;)

＊Lantern Festival＊

My husband's friend told me about the festival at her city.  Her city has a sister city relationship with a city in Taiwan. We expected rain on that day. It was drizzling when we reached the event site, but it started raining hard (^^;)
Cluster Amaryllis； Japanese name is Equinox Flower '彼岸花'．Season for this flower♪

           You can see the blurry lanterns in the back. I just found a couple of flowers .

*Male Japanese Pheasant*

My neighbor 'who knows about my picture taking hobby for blog' kindly came to tell me this Japanese National bird looked just enjoying relaxing time alone. 

I loved this back shot of his ;-)

So sorry that I didn't know that video is only taken horizontally.

I tried to fix it by using downloaded free soft, not succeeded(^^;)

But I was happy to see the video was taken clearly.

This was not my first luck, I thought there must be a nest near by♪

He was up on the fence near my house. 

I hope you are having a wonderful new week.

Hope to visit you soon!
