Blue in the sky, blue in the waves

During this season, the Sera area is blessed with flowers, overflowing with them, so it would be a shame to be satisfied with just one place. Next, we visited Hanayume no Sato, a 20-minute drive from Sera Highlands Farm. We were greeted by blue and pink carpets. Upon closer inspection, we realized that it was a truly luxurious arrangement, covered in tiny flowers.

The flowers on the blue carpet are nemophila. If you crouch down facing the sky, it looks like you'll just melt into the blue. You all love the sun.

If you look through the viewfinder at the same eye level as the flowers, you will see a sea of nemophila. The flowers look like they are having a great time floating on the waves.


*小さな花は小さく写すからこそかわいらしい。花が作り出すラインが、波の揺らぎのようにみえる。

*青と黄色は反対色。互いを引き立てあう色同士。色の組み合わせ、花の組み合わせを考えてぬいて作られた花畑は、写真好きをワクワクさせる。

The bus stop, standing alone in the middle of a flower field, is fairytale-like. The bus probably won't come, but if I did, where would it take me? I think I'll pass the Fuwa Fuwa Kumo no Ue stop and get off at Ryugujo Castle.

"Hanayume no Sato" may mean "a place to see flowers and dream."
