This photograph captures the sight of yellow cosmos blooming a bit early at the Ofuna Flower Center, creating an image that evokes the arrival of early summer.Quietly nestled in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, the "Ofuna Flower Center" is a place where you can feel the changing seasons through flowers, like a stage where floral tales unfold. In spring, tulips and cherry blossoms sway gently in the breeze; in early summer, lotus and hydrangeas bloom quietly; and come summer, sunflowers and cosmos stand tall, defying the sunlight.The composition of the flower beds and their harmony with the background buildings are truly remarkable. Depending on the framing, the photographs themselves take on a poetic beauty. Scenes where time seems to flow slowly are scattered throughout the garden—the lotus pond, the lawns, the path where wind chimes tinkle. Moments spent conversing with nature while pointing your lens will surely become unforgettable memories.
