Virtual Mountain Climbing 33

It's time for virtual mountain climbing! 🙌
Earthquakes, typhoons 🌀, and the unusual heat we've been having lately,
are you feeling overwhelmed by the fury of nature?

Especially when you're feeling anxious,
keeping your mind stable is just as important
as being prepared.

Today, to help you relax 🌿,
let's go out together on a virtual mountain climb.

Through the text and images,
please feel like we are climbing together
and enjoy yourself.


Now, let's set off on our virtual climb! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و…˖⁺

As soon as you step into the trailhead, it's already cool,
thanks to the trees.

Pollia japonica (Yabumyoga),
with its little white flowers popping up,
they look just like fireworks! 🎇

I heard it got this name
because its leaves resemble those of the Japanese ginger (myoga).

Over here, too.

Mock strawberry (Yabuhebiichigo),
with its little berries sitting right at our feet,
how cute!

The red is beautiful.

Oh, and over here too.

Dayflower (Tsuyukusa),
I love this blue.
These flowers start blooming around the Obon season.
I wonder if we'll be able to see many more from now on.

They are 'one-day flowers' that only bloom
from early morning until noon.
The rarity of being able to encounter them because it's morning is also nice. (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)✩

In the shade of the trees,
even on a scorching day, the sun
hardly reaches the ground in the mountains, making it comfortable.

Having said that, I'm still drenched in sweat while climbing! 💦

That's right,
it's time for our sky time.
Make sure to look up.

The sky feels so far away.
Let's stretch both hands out wide and try to grab the sky.

Your body is saying,
'That feels so good!'

Exhale fully and take a deep breath.
The nervousness and anxiety will settle down.

Deep breathing is the most powerful magic spell.
If you feel tired or your heart feels tight, just take a deep breath.

Ah!

A Fluffy Sallow Moth, a type of owlet moth
It's big and spiky
It looks kind of strong ( *´艸｀)

It rains frequently in the mountains ☔
So the snails 🐌 are also marching along energetically

There's something interesting here too

A leaf-rolling weevil
The insect's eggs are laid inside the leaf
It's rolled up so skillfully, isn't it?

Phew 💦

Just walking a little bit makes me sweat buckets 💦💦

Let's take it easy and rest as we go

Well, it's started (´°Д°｀)

The classic stairs...
It looks like it's going to be another one of those endless climbs...

Let's do our best 💪😤

Agrimony
Rather than midsummer, the flowers start blooming one after another around the Obon season
I guess the flowers are avoiding the hot days too 😅



This is

Longhorn beetle
They say it looks like a panda wearing a tuxedo🐼, but
do you see it?

The mint color is so stylish, isn't it?

Skunk vine
It has such cute flowers,
so I always wonder why it got such a name🥹
😅

While observing various things,

I'm steadily climbing up.
Slowly, slowly, so I don't run out of breath.

When I'm observing things here and there,
I even forget that I'm tired.

Huh? You don't forget???ꉂꉂ🤣𐤔𐤔

Shall we have some sky time again?

The blue of the leaves,
the blue of the sky,
just looking at them makes all the tension leave my body,
it feels so good.

The scent of the trees and the soil,
the sounds of the birds and cicadas,
everything is perfect✨

Let's loosen up any excess tension.

Come on, let's climb a little further!
The stairs just keep going on and on😂
Don't give up!💪

You can do it!

The flat parts that appear from time to time are rest zones.
Let's loosen up our stiff muscles while we walk✌

The sun peeking through the gaps in the trees.
So bright✨

The stairs have appeared again.

Ah!!

Spotted bellflower.
They're still blooming.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz🏎
Whack🪭Σ٩(⊙д⊙)۶

It's the kind of thing that attacks every time I stop.
That's the fourth one so far( ✧Д✧) sparkle!

The number that got away is more than double that, haha.

This is also unique to summer🤣
I won't lose!🔥

It's a mushroom that looks like a pinecone🍄!
The gills.
They're curled up so neatly, how cute.

Whoa ( ˟ᯅ˟ )💦

Are these stairs ever going to end?💦

My legs are shaking~

Oh,
but the sky is opening up now.
The summit is almost here♡

It's opening up,
it's opening up

One last push,
you can do it,
you can do it

WE DID IT━━━ヾ(*≧∀≦*)ﾉ━━━!!!

What a view𓇬𓂂𓈒⋆.˚⊹⁺　
The clouds and the blue sky are amazing✨
My legs were shaking and it was tough, but
we did a great job.
High five🙌

The breeze feels so good too

Time for a little exploring……………………
( ⊙᎑⊙ )( ⊙᎑⊙ )( ⊙᎑⊙ )( ⊙᎑⊙ )っ

Mr. Mantis,
was having a meal.
Observing it closely up close

Nooooooo Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Chased by a swarm of horseflies
No lunch break for us!
Run away!

We can't stop for long, can we?
Anyway, starting the descent!
Make sure to stay hydrated and replenish your salt.

Just a moment ago
I was thinking, "I passed through here!"


Be careful not to trip.
Don't panic, don't panic.

The shade of the trees is cool after all.

Scenery you want to frame.
It's like a painting.

The mountains are full of such beautiful scenery.

😭

Clear sky zone.
It's hot!

The mountain sun is harsh.
It's too hot!

I want to get into the shade quickly.

Ah~♡ Shade is the best✨
My steps feel light on the way down
But it's also easy to trip when descending

Stay safe~🤭

Walking along briskly~

Steep stairs
Be careful on crumbling stairs

Slowly, slowly


Oh, how pretty

Sky time

Sky, leaves, and sunlight
The balance created by nature is always perfect
A beauty so captivating

Stand quietly
Try closing your eyes
The sound of leaves rustling in the wind feels good
Breathing becomes easier

Relaxed
Let's take a deep, full breath


The mountain is overflowing with love
It accepts and embraces you at all times
Recharge fully

Walking through a pleasant space
That alone is therapy

Actually, the stairs are tough on the way down too🤣

Descending further
Don't trip

Shhhhh

An Anotogaster sieboldii (Japanese giant dragonfly)
The king of the insect world👑
I'm always indebted to the 'Oniyanma-kun' (dragonfly decoy)🤭
Grow up big and strong!

Dioscorea tokoro (Tokoro yam)
Tiny, tiny flowers are blooming
I almost missed them

Unique

Mushroom🍄 found!
I wonder what's going on with it( ˙꒳​˙ )?

It's all swirly, haha

A snail and a baby strawberry

Lizard-chan🩷

It was so big that I hesitated to catch it😅

Well, we've made it back to the trailhead.

That went by in a flash, didn't it?

It's hard to relax at the summit during the summer, but
we had a great time, didn't we?

Something I noticed about the ladies I passed on the way:
The ones not wearing an 'Oniyanma-kun' (dragonfly decoy)
were surrounded by a huge swarm of horseflies... It was scary! (꒪⌑꒪.)!!!

It's incredibly effective, isn't it...

So, I bought another one on the way home, haha.
I'm going to attach it to my hat too! ✌

I have to avoid getting stung on the forehead again!
The mark is actually still there ( *¯ ³¯*) Ugh, seriously lol

Let's enjoy the mountains while evolving little by little. ♪⋆*

We climbed so many stairs this time, too.
Make sure to stretch your legs well.

Well then, let's go out together again.

Total travel time: 3.5 hours

Virtual mountain climbing is
a way to go on outings through photos and text
with those who have difficulty going out
due to illness or various other reasons.
I would be happy
if you could feel like you've stepped outside
even for just a little while.
Also, for those of you who enjoy
the outdoors, such as mountains, the sea, or mountain streams,
would you be willing to write an article
so that others can experience your adventures virtually?
I want to share many different worlds with them,
so please, I ask for your cooperation.

Please see this article for details.
