This photo was taken at Ayame Garden at the site of Shobu Castle on a hazy morning with strong sunlight, when the iris fields were generally past their peak. However, I found a beautiful flowering iris and captured it. At Ayame Garden, irises begin blooming vividly with the arrival of early summer, adding seasonal color to the tranquil landscape.The garden features well-maintained boardwalks and paths, allowing visitors to leisurely photograph the blooms from various angles—a unique pleasure of this location.
