梅雨の北山 資福寺。7月上旬、満開のあじさい。
Beginning of July, rainy season in Japan and it's also a season for hydrangeas.
Shifukuji Temple in Kitayama, Aoba Ward, Sendai is famous for them.
薬師堂の手洗い場は亀でしたが、資福寺は龍でした。
Place for washing hands, that you can see in many temples and shrines in Japan,
there were turtles in Yakushido Temple, but here was a dragon.
お寺では鳥や虫の鳴き声、水滴が地面に落ちる音、雨上がりの土のにおい、夏の気配。
I could hear birds and insects' voices, waterdrop falling to the ground,
and also smell soil after raining.
I felt summer coming.
ちょっと不気味でおもしろい竹の壁。
Interesting (and little bit weird) pattern made by pile of bamboos.
そういえば、仙台七夕もあと１か月。
Looking bamboos, I remember about Sendai Tanabata Festival (which uses many bamboos)
It'll be held on beginning of next month in Sendai.
木と土と花と石。鳥と虫と水と雨。
やっぱり、お寺は落ち着きますね。
Trees,soil,flowers and rocks. Birds, bugs, water and rain.
Temple always makes me feel relaxed.
