海へ抜ける山道に咲いてた紫陽花。花弁や色がなんかゴージャスかつシックじゃないですか? found on a mountain roadside, taken in 2010 w/minolta XD |
あじさい、って名前の響きもいいけれど、視覚的には漢字で「紫陽花」が好きです。夏の入り口にぴったりだと思える。
今年はまず家の庭(なんて言える代物では決してないですが)に咲いた紫陽花を撮りまくりました。いや、撮りまくったと言っても数ではなく時間をかけたのです。珍しく。
来月にはきっといつもの高原の紫陽花を撮りに行くでしょう。去年も一昨年もそのまた前の夏も、友人が東から遊びに来てくれてちょうど満開の頃だったから連れて行った場所。今年は久しぶりにひとりで?あの高原には早朝に行くのが一番だし。あの高原に限らず、早起きが写真を撮るには素敵で楽しい季節がやってきました。雨の朝だって、どしゃぶりじゃなければ、音も匂いも愛おしい。
I love the sound "ajisai", Japanese word for hydrangea, but love the letters "紫陽花" even more. The characters are just right enough to be associated to the beginning of summer. I took more time to take photos of hydrangea blooming in my garden (if you saw it in real, it couldn't be called "garden", I guess;). I will go shooting hydrangea on a mountaintop, where I took friends who came to see me in the past years. If you come to my place around this time of the year I will definitely take you there.
Yesterday I read in the blog of a friend that he loves shooting before/around the sunset. I love those periods of the day too, but in summertime, I go to the beach or mountain to take photos around the sunrise. I have less difficulty getting up early and the light, colors before dawn are really special:)
