Pumpkins are growing beneath.
A beauty under the umbrella of leaves.
Sheltered from the summer sun.
Rejoicing with the fruits.
When will they be ready for pumpkin soup?
Maybe in two or three months’ time.
I will wait patiently for them to be ripe.
What flowers are these?
The baby that takes away our breath.
Babybreath.
Hundreds and hundreds of flowers.
In just a bunch like this.
Corn are in abundance here.
Like the pumpkins, they are not in season yet.
Somehow they attract my attention.
Left.
Right.
And at the centre.
The hills are green.
The farms are busy with activities.
There is a kind of hush in the air.
It is the white radish (daikon) below.
A young Japanese farmer.
