lotus pond

"Lotus Pond" watercolor

catch a cold in the air conditioner、I haven't been feeling well for the past few days.、I'm finally feeling better、I went for a bicycle walk for the first time in a while.。Are the ponds along the usual course in full bloom? lotus flower。I drew this sketch a week ago.、There were about 10 times as many flowers blooming today.。

Tawaraya Sotatsu has an ink painting called ``Lotus Pond Waterfowl'' which is a national treasure.。What kind of expression was ``Lotus Pond''?、I can't remember at the moment, but、The simple brush strokes of “Niji”、As expected of Sotatsu、I was impressed that it was worthy of being considered a national treasure.。-Water fowl。There are sometimes cormorants in this pond.、I can't even take a photo。It could be a duck, but I haven't drawn it yet.。

      「時化の日」 水彩

自転車で散歩に行くと水や草の匂いがする夏に近づくにつれその水の匂いの中に濁ったものが混じり込んでくる現代は「無味無臭」が誰にも不快感をもたらさないと重宝されるようだあるいは「統計化」された “爽やかさ”わたしはたとえ不快なものが混じり込んでもそれを「自然」の一部と思う派である

sometimes、潮の匂いがたまらなく恋しくなる海辺の匂いも決して好ましいものばかりでなく打ち上げられた海藻も暑くなればやはり同じように腐臭を発する磯周りなどあらゆるところに微妙な生き物がいてそれぞれにそれぞれの匂いを発する同じ海水であっても潮だまりと外洋とでは深山と田んぼほど違う
 決して “かぐわしい” だけではないのだがそれらを含めて “海の匂い” が恋しい

時化の日ウミネコは飛ばずに風をよけて佇んでいるウミネコはカモメより一回り小さく風に向かって飛んでも全然進まないのを見るとつい笑ってしまうカモメは悠々と空を飛びまわる
 アンヨが黄色いのがウミネコカモメは赤この絵では風はそれほどでもなさそうだもう少し風が強まれば皆いっせいに風の方向に頭を揃えるはずだから

Melancholy of Kosendangusa (Kosindangusa)

"Kosendangusa"
Kosendangusa。There is a small white ray-like flower at the edge of the yellow tubular flower.

Looking at this year's temperature data across Japan、2026Since the beginning of May, ``midsummer days'' have already been reported many times.。it is、Does this mean that the “abnormal weather” of the past is becoming “normal”?。Maybe、Japanese people eat rice as their staple food.、Will there ever be a day when I switch to bananas?。

Cycling walking has become almost a daily routine.。Plants I noticed along the way、I'm increasingly getting off my bike and taking pictures of animals with my camera.。I'm not doing any research, but、In a life where there is less contact with nature、I want to somehow maintain a connection between my physical sensations and the sense of the seasons.。

the other day、Where I took the photo of Jishibari (earth bound)、A plant that interests me、It stood up about 20 centimeters from a crack in the pavement.。"What is it?" I searched on Google Lens and it said "it's most likely a lilybug."。Isn't it a mistake? While thinking that、I took another photo and headed home.、For some reason I couldn't judge it because it was out of focus.。

Because I was interested、I went to check again in the evening (it was difficult due to the headwind).、I can't find it! Why? As I walked again and again, looking for、I managed to find another one (a light truck was parked at that spot).、I couldn't see it)。
As a result、“Kosendangusa (also known as:The judgment was correct.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、Looking at Wikipedia、Flowering period is August to September。In other words、What is "autumn grass"?。yes、That's what I was concerned about.。By the way, Kosendangusa is a “hitsuki beetle”。stick-shaped fruit、It has claw-like spines、That's why it often gets stuck to shoelaces, etc.。
That means、From the plants' perspective, it's not even "summer's peak" already.、I guess that means it's already autumn.。However, individual growth has not caught up to that extent.、Even from the plant side, doesn't it mean that we are not able to catch up with the ``unexpected speed'' of the seasons? This summer、Motor、The electric power industry says it's scarier than the "2027 problem" of air conditioners.、Isn't that a warning?
