Hakone Tozan MoHa 1 #104 climbs the 8% grade towards Ohiradai Station as it passes a fully bloomed row of hydrangeas. Japanese mountain railroading does not disappoint.

More fun with the lensbaby.

This will be a pink hydrangea flower soon. Right now I enjoy it being green with the little bits of pink starting to show!

June in Japan is the beginning of its "infamous" rainy season. Most days from June into late July are filled with warm, rainy days and cloudy skies. Yet, it is in this rainy period when Japan's second most famous flowers bloom, Hydrangeas.

In the Tokyo Metropolis, three railways are very well known for the hydrangeas that bloom along the line, the Hakone-Tozan Railway, The Keio-Inakashira Line and the Enoshima Electric Railway. Goryo Shrine near Kamakura is a famous spot for hydrangeas, often packed with locals and tourists to view and photograph them. Here, an Enoden Type 1000 Series leads a Fujisawa bound local as it approaches Goryo Shrine.

This spectacular Hydrangea bush is a lovely welcome sight by the driveway leading to our French holiday house "La Brugere".

I have two hydrangeas in my garden. One has not yet bloomed this summer. This hydrangea produced pink flowers last summer and was much taller. This year the flowers range from a purplish-white to blue, like this one.
