In Japan, the hydrangea flower season peaks between June and July.

It always seems to lift up your mood to see colorful hydrangea flowers fully blooming on the street.

In the vast layer of floating flowers in the pond, two ducks are swimming so gracefully. It looks like a scene taken right out of a fantasy book.
