130802snorkeling07Last night and today we didn't have many customers I went to Ebisujima island for snorkeling with my son this afternoon.

2013/.06/02 Strong north wind in Shirahama

130602sindWe have a very strong north wind here in Shirahama, and it's colder this morning than yesterday.

There are some wind surfers who came to this beach to get a good condition.

By the way, mY daughter has a sport day at the high school today, but she had been worrying about it due to the weather.

If it was rainy and they didn't have it they would have to study as usual even though it is Sunday today.

But I think it will take place today, because it's still cloudy now.

2013/05/31 An interval of good weather - - Hydrangea native to Japan

130531beach02Even though we are in the rainy season now it was sunny all day long.

When I walked on the seaside I found out the wild hydrangea on the cliff down the road.

This is a native one to Japan and we can see this kind of hydrangea on the coast of Izu peninsula, Boso peninsula, Miura peninsula, Izu seven islands and so on.

This hydrangea exported to China from Japan long time ago, and exported to Europe in 18 centuries.

Nowadays the most of hydrangea which are seen at the many places in Japan are the breed improved in Europe and they were imported to Japan again.

It means this is the original species of the hydrangea which you usually see.

2013/05/20 Walking to Sotoura beach this morning

This is a natural cove and they don't have big waves even though we have big ones in Shirahama.

2013/05/20 Shirahama Beach this morning

130520beach01My daughter usually goes to school by bike, but I took her to the shool by my car this morning.

A week ago the weather forecast said it would be cloudy and rainy on the last weekend, but it was changed and a rainy day came to Shimoda later than the Black Ship Festival actually.

It's rainy today, but we had been lucky during the Black Ship Festival.
