One gargantuan azalea at the old family homestead in Illinois. Deer have been browsing it a bit but they can't make a dent in its sheer bloom power. #gardening #Bloomscrolling #garden #azalea #midwest
#Mondog It was hot today at 85F/29C. We waited again to let the sun calm down a bit and had an outdoor time. Just doing this with him is so therapeutic, and it never gets old. I wish we could send you the strong fragrance of the azaleas.
Happiness.
#TGIF A long week has come to an end. Kengo and nature wish you a good restful evening and a peaceful weekend.

A cloudy but very comfortable day. A storm is forecast for later tonight and I hope it won't be severe.
Colors come out much better on a cloudy day than a sunny day, making Kengo look better, not? Daffodils came back. Also the yardmen came last evening, and the yard looks much better. One more day.
Hiked along the slope of the Eastern Mountains of Kyōto (東山), first up to the little-known Himukai Daijingū (日向大神宮), a little Shintō shrine whose grandiose name borrows from the ancient and most-revered Ise Jingū after which its architecture is modeled. Then to the iconic Zen Buddhist temple Nanzenji (南禅寺), and along Philosophy Road (哲学の道) to the Silver Pavilion Ginkakuji (銀閣寺). Then as now there was a shortage of silver, even to the Ashikaga Shōguns, so the pavilion was never gilded, but with its similarlity to the Golden Pavilion Kinkakuji and topped by a phoenix, it is nevertheless charming. Sakura cherry blossoms at their best all along the way, with other spring flowers like magnolia and early-blossoming purple azaleas, made for a long and aesthetically pleasing hike.

A gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine and cool air after two damp days. It's crazy that a frost advisory has been issued for tonight. Kengo posed for a change with pretty azaleas.
