An old house in this island.
Ishigaki means " Stone Fence". Strong winds would blow in this island.
Many houses would make stone fence,so this island is called
Ishigaki-Jima Island.

こんばんは。石の垣があるから石垣島なんですね。なるほど~。
ReplyDelete南国の雰囲気たっぷりのポストですね。家も花々もガジュマルの木もトックリやしも素敵です。カニやトビハゼはなんだかひょうきんな感じ。生き物の写真を撮るのはなかなか難しいと思うのですがお見事です。
石垣島、私も行きたいなあ。
Dear Merry Witch.
Deleteこんにちは。ありがとうございます。石垣島へは直行便が出てますから、思いたったら、すぐ行けます。5月の中旬から、マリンレジャーも楽しめます。
I like the second mushroom that has not been seen at Cerok Tokun.

風が強く吹くから、石の建物や,石垣が造られるのですね。島の人々はどの様に暮らしておられるのかしらと、ふっと興味をもちました。南国の植物、特にトックリヤシ、カジュマル素晴らしいですね。キノコも可愛い。お花もクローズアップできれいに撮れてますね。介護生活が終わったら、ゆっくり旅したいです。4月には東京の実家の母に会いにいきます。Thank you for visiting Green Tomato.

Dear Anzu sama.
Deleteこんにちは。 ホテルの庭園にハンモックがありました。天気が良くなかったので、それで昼寝は出来ませんでした。
そよ風に吹かれて昼寝を楽しめたら、と思いました。
I admired the beautiful flowers, thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThe orchid trees are beautiful. That's quite a unique stone fence around that house.

美しい花々が心を癒してくれるようです。島は花の香りにあふれていることでしょう。私はジャズミンの香り大好きです。サンゴのような花が最高! 斎藤さんは本当に幸運な方ですね。Happy traveling!

Deleteおはようございます。世界一幸せな方から、お褒めをいただき光栄です。 夜香木は香水として石垣島で売られています。
いらした時にお求めになられたらいかがですか。
All your flowers are very sharp and beautiful. I think we only have the Golden Trumpet growing wildly in Malaysia. I love that Indian Laurel tree which is unique and nice!

ReplyDeleteDear lina.
DeleteThank you.
Beautiful pictures of all those flowers!
ReplyDeleteThe one that got stuck in my mind is
the one that looks like a corral :)
But I came here to look at your fence :)
And I must say I like it, looks like it
took many men to build it. :))
Have a beautiful weekend

前ポストも拝見しました。目を瞠るような海の青さ、広い広い空、花の絶えない四季、サンゴ礁・・・この楽園がずっと続いてほしいです。石垣島の名前の由来、そうだったんですか。ここを襲う台風はすさまじいパワーでしょうね。
ReplyDeleteDear Yoko sama.
Deleteこんばんは。ありがとうございます。そうですね。今回は天気があまり良くなかったので、写真はよくとれなかったのですが、それなりに楽しめました。
南西諸島の方は次のように言われます。「好きでサトウキビを作っているのではありません。風が強いので、ほかの作物が育たないからです。」
いつか、5月以降に行って、マリンスポーツを楽しみたいです。
Very beautiful pictures ! For me a real spring greeting !
