The flower bed as patchwork, a photo from Saitama, Kanto

Photographer's Note

This flower(moss phlox) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the department of Polemoniaceae. Height is about 10 cm. It grows thick so that it may crawl on the ground, and a leaf is hard long and slender. A light peach and red, and white flower are pickled in spring. It is native of North America. "Hill of moss phlox" in Chichibu is located in the park which can command a whole view of the Chichibu city area. The city is in the westernmost part of Saitama. Unlike other parts of the prefecture, it is largely mountainous and the population is concentrated in river terraces along the Arakawa River. It is Saitama's largest municipality in terms of surface area and shares borders with Tokyo, Yamanashi, Nagano and Gunma Prefectures.

Hi dear Mikio. The colourful flowerbeds create an impression of giant carpets and as usual, the Japanese people of all ages congregate to any place that showcases flowers. Excellent DOF and composition. Best wishes. Klaudio.

Interesantan tekst o moss phlox sa opisom, lep pogled na polje sa cvecem i planinu u daljini ...
Dobar trenutak snimka, kontrast i perspektiva, lepo pokazano mesto i trenutak sa posetiocima.
Dobar rad sa lepom fotografijom u radionici, lepo uhvacen trenutak, lepe boje.

Hello Mikio - The colourful phlox make a wonderful subject and all 3 of your shots are super, each one has a slightly different look and feel and together they make a fabulous post. A sight to delight the eye and all the figures wandering through the gardens prove it!

Marvellous.

Warm regards

Hi Mikio
This just leaps off the screen full of vibrancy and the stunning carpets of pink & white, indeed the temptation is hard to resist. The clarity and composition give the lively shot a real boost and mouth-watering contrast along with throng of people are vital to emphasize depth and perspective. A fine capture adequately exposed and your approach is a winning formula! Awesome capture. Congrats
Best regards
