The unusual heat continues

"Midsummer Pure Land" study work (separate from the previous work)

The heat continues。"Another thing" is、For example, refers to the highest temperature in Kitami City, Hokkaido, yesterday (July 24th) of 39.0℃ (highest ever in Kitami City).。Whether it's "abnormal" or not、It's just a matter of "personal feeling"、For example, just because the temperature exceeds 40°C on the Deccan Plateau, India.、No one thinks it's "abnormal"、It's Kitami in Hokkaido (which should be cool)、Even if you say that、Well, it's not inappropriate either。

Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, is a hot topic due to the summer heat (Japan's highest temperature: 41.1℃.2018、Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture 2020) and Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture、In Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, etc.、You might think that it's just "hotter than usual."。Incidentally, looking at the highest temperatures in Kitami City in the past, 38.1℃(2019)、37.2It is set to ℃ (2021).、4th place and below is 37.1°C, 2022、2023Continued、10The position is 37.0℃。In other words、例年なら37℃あたりまでがピークだからそれよりいきなり2℃も高かったことになるそれにしても北海道もついに南国化してしまったことの象徴なのだろうか

After the strong winds

many fruits are falling。Is this a rabbit?
I picked up the fruit of the Taisanboku tree.
I love dragonflies。It doesn't fit in the photo easily
Kobushi (Magnoliaceae) fruit。Even though I know flowers、I haven't really seen it in reality.

Strong winds continued for several days。Walking also becomes a chore.、I went there for the first time in a few days.、There were snowdrifts of nuts everywhere.。The plants are already ready for fall.。Plants are “time-ahead”、Really good skill。like me、For people who don't have a plan、A truly admirable being.。

Hoozuki

In the Kanto-Koshin region, heavy rain warnings were issued from last night to this morning (though it wasn't that much in the area).、It's so cool this morning I don't need a cooler。Thanks to this, I overslept a little、That's how my legs are lighter。A good night's sleep、It's more of a physical recovery effect than medicine。

I'll try drawing a Hoozuki。When you think of Hozuki, you can imagine it as a red lantern.、That's right for the Obon season、As you know, it is often used as a bonsole decoration。When I think of Hozuki, I only had the image of "red"、If you look closely (of course), it's green before that。

This time、slowly、I'll try drawing this green Hozuki。Before that, I investigated a little bit of ecology.、Observation is essential at least、So here's the above sketch。
