Happou-ike is a small pond located just beside the Happoone ridge. The area has an alpine landscape unusual at a relatively low altitude of 2,100 m due to soil and climatic conditions. It becomes a blooming grassland in spring and summer.
The shrub in front is Haimatsu or Siberian dwarf pine that is usually found above the forest limit.

Not a composite. I was mowing the grass and spotted Ike dozing in the window. The reflection of the outdoors, “ghostly” objects in the room and anti-bird strike stickers on the window combined for a mildly surreal image.
Friday afternoon just watching the sky and beginning to feel the gusts of Ike's outer bands, the humming birds were just hitting the feeder hard. One little male Ruby Throated Hummingbird had to be the dominant bird and persisted in running off any that would let him. My feeder must have been the only one left outside and as long as I was out, the feeder stayed. Once I removed it I guess the little birds went for cover because they were out waiting for me on Saturday afternoon. So I figured this little guy was as big a bully as Ike.
No description necessary - this is one of those "wow" moments that we seem to have more often than not.
