All my memory cards and storage drives are loaded. Time to head back to Fukuoka. Taking a bit of a longer road, with stops in Hiroshima and Kitakyushu we returned home after 3 days. The last images:
Blue Admiral, ルリタテハ Kaniska canace
I was looking for Swift bufs and found lots of these, チャバネセセリ? but not my target, the Indian Awlking.
We stayed at small road stations, often with hot springs and took small roads to get there. On one of these small country road, we found this shed with some very intricately embroidered kimono's hanging outside, under a small roof.
They looked very special and belonged in a museum rather than a toolshed
What a story they could tell.
In Hiroshima I saw my first bird again
And next in Kyushu, at the first mountain we stopped.
Zitting Cisticola, XXX
Chestnut-eared Buntingm XXX
This mountain has no dense forests, but there are many wild flowers.
White Egret Orchid, サギソウ Pecteilis radiata
Bifid Bladderwort, ミミカキグサ Utricularia bifida and its purple sibling
The drive back took 3 days. Our quietly sleeping nerves woke up again when we got to Fukuoka.
How are we going to survive? And… Miraculously, the aircon started. And has been working ok since. BIG RELIEVE!!!
Our beloved home on wheels, Billie, in Fukui and overlooking the slopes towards Gifu from the Hakusan observation point. Thank you and driver Jaap for getting us back home in one piece.
