This is a skunk cabbage habitat at Banushinden District of Konanmachi, Koriyama City. It is already in its full bloom. They started to bloom several days earlier than usual due to the warm weather.

On the way back to my home, I stopped at a viewpoint on the southern edge of Lake Inawashiro. Today, a high pressure system from the west covered Fukushima and I could view excellent scenery of snow-capped Iide Mountain range as if floating over Lake Inawashiro as shown above.
その帰りに、猪苗代湖南岸のビューポイントに寄りました。今日は、西からの高気圧が福島県を覆い、すばらしい景色が見えました。写真は、猪苗代湖の上に、冠雪の飯豊連峰が浮かんで見えます。


Photos above are about an interesting site I found today. This site is called "Kusatori Jizo" or weeding Jizo. There is a legend accompanied to it as the stone panel in the picture above says. Once upon a time, there were hard-working young man and his mother. One day, his mother got sick and the young man was struggling with weeding the rice field alone. A young woman suddenly appeared and started to weed the field with him. She was so fast with the work that the weeding was finished by the end of the day. Then she quietly disappeared. He searched for her and found that a standing stone Jizo statue wore the same clothes as the woman. --I love this story.
写真は、「草取り地蔵」という面白いものです。石のパネルに書いてある伝説が伝えられています。気に入りました。
I had a lunch at a soba restaurant in Konanmachi. It is located before ascending toward Sanmori Pass that I can fuel myself with some food. I had a very nice soba noodles, although I have neither photo nor its name. The location is on the map.
帰りに、湖南町の蕎麦屋で昼をとりました。三森峠に上っていく前にあり、ちょうど補給できます。写真も、名前も無いですが、場所は地図の通りです。
