Grand Canyon

I went to Grand Canyon on June 1st, 2012.It was hot and the temperature was a high of 30 degrees.
But it was not so humid and it was more comfortable than Japan to spend.
Gand Canyon was so magnificent and broad!!!
It was too broad to take one photo!!!

These three photos make one view.

Please watch these photos as continuous one view.

These photos were taken at Mather Point.

My tour agent said that the views of Grand Canyon that usually appear on brochures of tours to Grand Canyon were taken at this point.

Fountain show at Bellagio in Las Vegas

These photos were taken through the window in the room of Bellagio on May 31 2012 when my family went to LasVegas.One photo above was taken at afternoon.
The other photo below was taken at night.
Let's compare these two photos!
Which photo do you like?
Basically I like both, but I like night photo more than afternoon one because I think a color combination is nice.

Purple Leaf Plum

At last, I cleared one of my some questions.
I knew what the mysterious trees like Sakura are.

I took two photos below at a courtyard of my condominium in February.
The flowers were blooming and looked like Japanese Sakura.
But the color of their leaves was different from one of Japanese Sakura's leaves.
The color of those was reddish-purple, but that of Japanese Sakura's leaves is green.

After three months, I found that the trees bore red fruits like cherries.
Look!

I searched the Internet and found out that the trees are "Purple Leaf  Plum"

I feel fine!
