爪木崎水仙まつり　Daffodils in South Izu

お元気？ how’re things with you going?

大島、太平洋そして水仙！はい、ここは下田の爪木崎！！

Izu-Oshima Island, the Pacific Ocean and Daffodils in Tsumekizaki, Shimoda

お墓参りしてばぁちゃんからのご褒美？ゆ～ったりの～んびり海とお花と、そして地球の息吹を感じる在りし日の海底火山を眺めて・・ほっこり幸せ

here, you can enjoy not only a beautiful ocean view with Daffodils but also you can observe the volcanic rocks emerged ca. 1,000 to 2 million years ago

300万本の野水仙で有名だけど、真っ赤なアロエのお花と白いスイセン、その向こうの蒼い海、きれいだよ～！

and now it’s the season of white flowers of said-to-be 3 million Daffodils as well as red aloe flowers together with clear blue ocean!

海岸の岩は、火山が作った岩で、更に地下から吹き上げていた熱水で赤茶けたんだって、で、熱水による化学変化で、この辺も昔は金や銀が掘り出されていたとか・・

many rocks are reddish colour, since they were affected by hot water from a natural spring long time ago

and hot water created gold and silver here too, not now anymore though, for sometimes, this area too produced gold, silver and iron

サラ、この引きちぎられた岩、好きなのよ！

Sarah loves to watch this teared rock!

スイセン・・・今月いっぱいぐらいは楽しめそうだよ

Daffodil flowers can be enjoyed for another couple weeks

今月中は「水仙まつり」になっていて、日曜日には下田太鼓が披露されるって

サラたち、日曜日にいったん出けど、お墓参りの後だったでしょ・・太鼓演奏は見逃した～💦

and now they prepare some events there during the flower season, till the end of this month, although we missed, they also introduce local dram performances
