蓮の花 – Lotus flower in 2011-

今年も上野の不忍池に蓮の花を見に行きました。
今年は暑さに負けてなかなかでかける勇気がでず、
急に涼しくなった先週の日を狙っていざ上野へ。

I went to see lotus flowers at Shinobazu pond in Ueno
again this year. I was hard to have the courage to come out
for watching flowers, because it’s too hot everyday.
However, it got cooler last week suddenly. I went out to Ueno
after waiting that cool day.

一日はすごい豪雨に見舞われ、その翌日出直しましたが、
残念ながら咲き乱れる花のピークは既に過ぎていました。
それでもまだ健気に咲く花を楽しむことはできました。

That day, I was hit by heavy rain. I had to leave early from there,
and so I came back next day again.
Unfortunately, I had to admit that I missed the best full bloom season
this year. Nevertheless I could enjoy beautiful flowers.
