淡い夕日の白い花 / White flowers in the warm and gentle sunset light

I make it a rule to take photos of these flowers every spring. This was the seventh  time I did so. I have one spirea in my garden, but it didn't produce enough flowers this year, so I went to see them near the swimming pool facility in my neighborhood. It was a couple of weeks ago. The white flowers looked so nice in the warm and gentle sunset light.

毎年、この花を撮ることにしている。アルバムを振り返ってみたら7年目だった。家の庭にあったユキヤナギは花を付けなくなってしまったから、撮っているのは千歳温水プールの前の道路沿いに咲く花たち。今回撮ったのは2週間前。薄雲越しの夕日が白い花を温かく色づけていた。カメラの色温度設定は5500K～6000K。ソフトフィルターで柔らかさを演出してみた。

The Sea of Spring
These flower trees are often seen along the roads in Tokyo.
They produce so many tiny white flowers
on their branches at this time of year.
I recomend that you get closest to the flowers
when you see them and enjoy the sea of spring!
