Two ducks in focus at Amabiki Kannon (Mt. Amabiki Rakuhoji Temple)

This photo was taken at Amebiki Kannon at f/11 with the two ducks above the blue hydrangea underwater flowers in focus. The charm of Amabiki Kannon is that you can enjoy the scenery with hydrangea, underwater flowers, and animals all at once. The flowers blooming in the quiet precincts, the goats and ducks spending their time freely, and the graceful white peacocks are impressive, making this a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts.
