石垣島に行かれたとは、うらやましいです。寒い冬にまさにパラダイスですね。
ReplyDeleteいい写真がたくさん撮れましたね。カニさんがかわいいです。
Dear Merry Witch.
Deleteこんばんは。最高気温が25度ありました。とても暖かでした。シオマネキはメスにモテたいため、片方のハサミが大きくなりました。
それで片手で食事するそうです。 カニの世界も大変です。
wonderful pics :)
ReplyDeleteDear Tina.

What a wonderful place to visit! Loved seeing all the photos with the beautiful flowers and wildlife. We also have Hibiscus flowers and morning glory in the United States. It's always great to discover plants that are grown all over the world. Your photos captured their beauty...thanks for sharing!

Beautiful colors! I cant wait for flowers to return to my area... Spring cannot come soon enough!
ReplyDeleteDear Sarah.

こんにちは、3枚目のカイトサーフィンですが、青い海に、青いカイトが決まってますね。フレームもばっちりで、この写真は最高です。他にハイビスカスを下から撮った写真、オオハマボウ、ノアサガオなんかも綺麗で素晴らしいです。撮ってるご本人は気付かないと思うのですが、毎週写真を拝見していると、最近メキメキと腕を上げられてるのがわかります。

部屋から望遠で何枚も撮り、その中から1枚アップしました。
貴兄にお褒めいただくと、とても嬉しいです。

DeleteThank you very much for your comment.
I'm visiting from Walk and Click, too. What a beautiful place! That first photo took my breath away.
ReplyDeleteDear seabluelee.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment.
Now THIS is really my dream spot ... I just love water. Even here in Colorado, I look for trails that circle a lake or follow a creek or river, but this is lovely. And the flowers are gorgeous. The little soldier carb is sweet. I always delight in seeing what you share in Walk and Click Wednesdays!
ReplyDeleteDear Lissa.
DeleteThank you. I feel happy you like my post.
おかえりなさい。冬の旅行は南ですね! 暖かい所からもどられると温度差で東京の寒波も余計寒く感じられるのでは?この一週間は特に寒く、奈良でも雪が舞っています。(でも、積もりません) ミナミコメツキガニ、甲羅の色が素敵! 青い宝石を身に着けているようです。
ReplyDeleteDear sturdast.
Deleteこんにちは。私も東京に戻ってとても寒いです。この蟹は小さくてすぐ砂に潜ってしまうので、撮るのが大変でした。
I wish I could go here! I've just returned from South Africa, and I'm freezing in Tokyo. I'd forgotten how cold it can be. (It was 38 degrees in Stellenbosch on the day I left.)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, idyllic spot.
I also took photos of bougainvillea and lots of fynbos. I'll publish it for you ASAP.
Dear Rurousha.
DeleteHi! Welcome to Japan again. I miss you. I hope you would drink a cup of Rooibos Tea to overcome the cold weather.

川平湾の写真はある旅行会社、空港だったかも?で見かけたポスターのようです。 素晴らしいです。日本と言っても大昔は異国だったのですから、別世界ですね。 石垣島、ぜひ行ってみたいところです。
ReplyDeleteDear Akemi sama.
Deleteこんばんは。このポストまで見ていただいて嬉しいです。羽田から石垣島へは直行便が出ています。便利になりました。
