Before the beauty of autumnal foliage !

by Kazu

Shall we remember the beauty of spring that we savored enough several months ago ?
I am not sure if we would be able to be captured by the unbelievable beauty of autumnal foliage or not this year.

Even if not, we have to appreciate enough the grace of the deities of our island, I think.
Above is the Japanese apricot that is said the first beauty and bless of each year in Japan.
Lilac is on the right.  

Why do they show their best performance each year ? In order to attract insects ?  But many of them can not recognize the difference of the colors. In order to appeal to the human beings ?
Anyway, my favorite in spring is the azalea that entertains me every year as shown below.
