とんぼをおいかけて・・ ～♪～

白馬の村の山道では、ヤマアジサイが盛りでした。
Along the mountain path in Hakuba area, lace cap hydrangea flowers were in bloom.





青やピンク、濃淡と、色合いもいろいろです。The flowers varied in colour. Some were pink, some were blue, some were pale, and some were rather dark.

ヤマアジサイの英名を調べると、「lace cap hydrangea (レースキャップ紫陽花)」の他に、「tea of heaven (天国の茶)」も出てきました。なんだかステキですね。
