今日はとてもステキな天気ですね🌞
Today was such a beautiful day. As we head into October, I hope there are many more lovely Fall days like today.♥
Beautiful Fall Weather🌞
弓ヶ浜公園・Yumigahama Park
この前米子へ行ってました。
弓ヶ浜公園とても広くてバスケットやスケートパークいろいろありました。
公園近くの海にはいりました。久しぶりに海も入りました。🐚
Recently, we took a short day trip to Yonago to check out the skate park located in Yumigahama Park. I hadn’t realized this beautiful park is located right by the Sea of Japan along a scenic beach, also called Yumigahama. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the seaside, so I jumped right in!
ちょうど一年前はオレゴン州の海に夕日を見ましたです。
オレゴン州はとても海は冷たかったですが弓ケ浜はまだ泳げそうでした。次回、水着があれば泳ぎたいかなかな！！（笑）
About the same time last year, I was watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean from the coast of my home state, Oregon. In Oregon it was already very cold, but here it was warm enough that I wised I had my swimsuit so I could go swimming! Maybe next time.🐚
姫路城🏯Himeji-Jo
姫路城は日本の有名なお城ですね。ユネスコの世界文化遺産でもある。
私は何回も新幹線からちょっと見ましたでも初めて行って来ました！
Himeji-jo is one of the most iconic castles in Japan, is listed on Unesco’s World Heritage Sites and is one of the few castles with both its exterior and interior intact, like Matsue-jo!
5年半の姫路城大天守の保存修理工事が2015年3月に完了してから私は行きたかったです。夏はとても暑いですが姫路城は素晴らしいお城と本当にぴかぴか白いです！！
Until recently, I had only caught a (very!) brief glance from the bullet train, so when it reopened in March of 2015, after undergoing extensive restoration, I really wanted to see it in all its sparklingly white glory. Although it was very hot, it was thrilling to slip back in time at this beautiful castle.
美しいな御姫様と恐ろしいな藩主ですね（笑）
What a charming princess and fearsome lord!😉
天神さん夏祭り!!「Tenjin-san Summer Festival」
久しぶりに天神さん夏祭りへ行って来ました！！
皆さん元気いっぱい笑顔もいっぱいでパワーもらいました。
今年、私は浴衣で久しぶりの夏祭り気分も盛り上がりました👘
This year I was able to attend the Tenjin-san Natsu Matsuri, a shinto festival held every 24th and 25th of July. As in past years, the mikoshi are paraded down the streets, which are lined with food and game booths. People of all ages come to enjoy the festival and it’s really energetic and full of smiling faces! This year I wore yukata 👘 to the festival, which made it extra fun and special.
ミニバラ🌹
ヘアーイノベーションのミニバラが咲き始めてます！冬を越えてとても嬉しいです。ミニバラの後ろには４年前のホスタはまだ元気そう♡
The mini rose bush in front of Hair Innovation’s entrance survived the winter and is blooming again! In the background, my hosta from 4 years ago also continues to flourish.♥
