I could spend a great day at the Wagner Nandor Art Gallery located in Mashiko town, Tochigi-pref., Japan. Because, I could have a chance to talk with Nandor's wife and I could appreciate many pieces of Nandor's work. Nandore Wagner was born in 1922 in Hungary. He had become world's famous sculptor by his stainless steel sculpture made in Sweden while as a refugee from Hungary. After he got married a Japanese woman, he moved from Sweden to Japan with his wife. Finally, he found the permanent home in Japan. As for more detail about him, I recommend you to refer Nándor Wagner.

Normally, it will be started to bloom between middle of November to end of December. Therefore, it is also called either Thanksgiving cactus or Christmas cactus.

In Japan, the six stone statues in the Buddhism temple can be seen in most cases.

These are the God Realm, The Jealous God Realm, the Human Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm and the Hell Realm. Further, the doctrine says that all lives continue to be born and reborn in the Six Realms that is called the Cycle of Rebirth or reincarnation.

Japanese Beautyberry
The plant shown in above is a kind of shrub trees which is native to Japan. It is called "Murasaki-Shikibu" in Japanese.
The name of "Murasaki-Skikibu" comes from the name of a famous Japanese female novelist who wrote the "Tale of Genji" in the early 11th Century. It is said that this story is the world's first novel or first modern novel.
By the way, the Muraski means purple color.
Have a Happy Friday.
The image was taken by EOS7D with EF-S 60mm F2.8 Macro USM, 1/500 f2.8 ISO400 Aperture Priority AE

Wish you all a wonderful day!
According to the WIKIPEDIA, the flowering plant shown in above has few English names like Autumn Crocus, Meadow Saffron or Naked Lady.
The above photo was taken in my yard yesterday. But, it was a little out of focus because i used maximum aperture to make smooth bokeh on backdrop. Thus i failed to capture fine and clear texture on petals. That's why I tried to take same photo again this morning.
The photo was taken by Olympus Pen E-P3 with Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f0.95, 1/4000 f/0.95 -0.3 of Exposure Bias ISO200 Aperture-Priority AE

A BLURRED & OUT OF FOCUS
Suddenly, a moth came into my sight when i aimed to shoot other subject by macro lens.
I shot this pic in a rush without any thought about focusing, exposure and aperture setting so that the pic was a little blurred and out of focus. But, I decided to upload the pic to my photostream because of lovely bokeh.
