Rhododendrons of the mountain (2014).

Yesterday, very sunny. I went and saw blooming rhododendrons (シャクナゲ) to the mountain again. The garden is named Hikosan Kaen (英彦山花園).

I found the blooming rhododendrons and others in and out of the garden. Beautiful!! I also saw a skink – it’s a Japanese five-lined skink(ニホントカゲ). Don’t you think it’s so cute? Is the person like me who thinks it’s cute strange? He-he. I also visited Hōheiden (奉幣殿) and got Omikuji (お御籤) as usual.

I’ll show you some photos I took yesterday.
