今朝は外に置いた傘に2匹の蝉が羽化して抜け殻とともにとまっていました。それはもう普通のアブラゼミだったのですが、夜9時に帰宅すると、さらに2匹、別の蝉たちの羽化が始まったところでした。
This morning, I found 2 Cicadas on my umbrella. They were already almost finished coming out. 9:00PM, when I came back home, I found another 2 cicadas that half emerged.

写真は午後9時の状態(左)と10時半の状態(右)。Left: at 9:00 PM, Right:at 10:30 PM.
2枚の写真をPhotoshopで1枚に合成してあります。I put two photos in one with Photoshop.

2日で4匹。そんなに傘が良いのでしょうか…
4 cicadas in 2 days, is that umbrella such a nice place to emerge?



This evening, after the rain, the sky was pink all over.
I’ve never seen the sky like this before, of course, before I’ve almost never seen the sunset sky.
(I think my Soligor has trouble with long distance focusing.)

And the rain in the morning. It is not failure focusing, but intentional focusing on the rain only.
This is with super-takumar 55mm1.8.



It rains everyday recently, so the plants and weeds are growing faster and faster.
Yesterday, I found a flower bud of the lotus for the first time. It was smaller than I expected.

And not in the photo, but surprisingly some of the baby Medaka-fishes were swimming in the jar.

And the dill flower.

This is the flower bud of a water lily. The yellow water lily already bloomed, but this one looks pink.



… and small weeds flowers behind the dill, but I don’t know the name…

I bought a Sphygmomanometer, and checked my blood pressure for 2 days.
And now I know I can enjoy potato chips and cheese snacks without worry about the high blood pressure 🙂

By the way, there was a first bloom of water lily this morning.
At 7:00 it was not open but at 9:20 I found the petals are already open.
