Irises and Critters from City Park;

*Went to see Irises to the City Park *
Now, the rainy season has just started in Japan. Irises are the flowers reminds us rain :-)  I am so grateful for the staffs giving us chance to be able to enjoy these many gorgeous varieties of them♪
Kindly, there are names for each iris, let me show you some.
Hope you can enjoy the beautifully written Calligraphy as well. 

*I had a big luck that I could take pictures of butterflies with Iris*
The red colored butterflies are generally called "red butterfly"  In Japanese, we call "akatonbo, 赤とんぼ".    Although the Iris with that name doesn't have red color, happy that I could take pictures of both of them.  I learned that butterflies perch on tip of things from my husband when I started writing blog p:-)

Common skimmer resting tip of the name board of the flower and on the bud.
*And I'll add the night scene with "Light Up" by using a mask*

*Flying Kite and Dark colored Dukes* 
Picture of the Kite was not well taken.
But happy that I could at least have a Flying Kite picture♪
I found these ducks in March.  I have some stocks of ducks' pictures I haven't posted.  They've already gone to the north.  Looking forward to posting later. 

Wishing all of you a happy new week and I always appropriate for the hosts of the link pages.

    I have irises growing in my garden this week too, Orchid, but not as many as this! Beautiful captures of insects and flowers, thank you for sharing them with the Mosaic Monday group today.
    Have a great week.

    Beautiful post. I love iris and the ones you shared are stunning! The red dragonfly is amazing. I never get a good shot of a dragonfly -- they move too fast! Happy Monday!

    What beautiful irises! So colorful and elegant. I love the calligraphy, too!
    Great shots of akatonbo. What lovely bright color! I have an image in my head that we can see akatonbo only in autumn...but clearly that's not the case :-) The ducks are very cute. I love the hair style of black & white ducks :-)
    コメント遅くなってしまいました。日本はもう梅雨ですね。アジサイが綺麗な季節！Take care and have a great weekend, Miyako san!

    What beautiful flowers and I love the insect images, too. My favorite of the pictures is of the ducks. I love the wave of "hair" atop their heads. So pretty.

    Have a blessed weekend. :)

    your posts are so beautifully done Miyako! Each one is a work of art. The iris especially the purple one is my daughter's favorite flower, so I love it too! Thank you for sharing all of the natural beauty that surrounds you.
