The Iris Fair in Kitayama Park #1


I went to Iris Fair in Kitayama Park of Higashimurayama. It's known as the Iris in this area.
北山公園の菖蒲祭りに行ってきました。ここの菖蒲はこの界隈で有名です。



Oh, I found a wild duck!
カモさん発見!

You may know about "Shichikoku-yama" of "Your Neighbor Totoro." It is based on "Hachikoku-yama" that you see behind the Irises.
「トトロの森」に出てきた「七国山」は、背景に見える「八国山」がモデルだそうです。

The park is filled with beautiful Irises everywhere.
公園内は見頃を迎えた花で美しさ満開です。




There are lots more colors and species in the park.
色も種類も沢山あります。

To be continued.
