Three years ago I rode on the ferry from Vancouver and went to Victoria of British Columbia State　on that day.

The lighthouse was impressive.
And verdure on the opposite shore, the marine color, and the sky color matched well.

As for the upper picture, the building of the state legislature seen from the window of the hotel appeared.
They were in the fantastic building.

Blue Butterfly

This is a blue butterfly called Ulysses (♂) .
A scientific name is Papilio ulysses joesa.
It is said that that man becomes fortunate and the wish suits if this butterfly is seen. I looked at the first Australia about 3 times during the travel.
And in the second visit to Australia, I was able to see 4 to 5 times.
My heart rang high for this skillful butterfly of metallic luster at that time.


The web information about this butterfly was summarized and it was described below.

The Ulysses Butterfly is also known as the Blue Mountain Swallowtail, the Blue Emperor, and the Mountain Blue. It is a spectacular bright blue and black Australian swallowtail butterfly. It lives in tropical rain forests in Australia, Indonesia, and other nearby islands.

Males are attracted to most blue objects (mistaking them for females). There are 16 known subspecies of the Ulysses. It is a protected species in Queensland, Australia.

Flowering Dogwood

Now, the flower of Dogwood is a season in full bloom.
Dogwood "Comus florida" is a North America native deciduous tree.

Since the origin of the name presented flea extermination and the skin disease of a dog with the juice which brewed the bark, the name attached it.
Its meaning is the tree for a dog maybe.

The upper picture is YAMABOUSHI "Comus Kousa" which grows wild in Japan.
And English name is Japanese strawberry tree.
This is the plant of the same family as Dogwood.

Therefor this picture was made good feeling.

No, this is Duchesnea chrysantha, HEBIICHIGO too. It does not make a mistake.
