Under the Water

At the Seal Center in Mombetsu.

Water of the pools was exchanged yesterday.

we could clearly see swiming seals under the water today.

Visiters were happy !

Head of this standing seal is on the water surface.

When a seal swim in water, I think it become upside-down.

This seal was taking a nap on Feeding and Explain Time.

He was using staff's foot as pillow !

Milk-chan was playing in other pool.

She is 1 year old.

Today's high was 25 C.

Temperture is still 20 C at 20:00.

It is a very warm day.

I feel almost in August.

 

Dandelion changed to white cotton from yellow flower.

I went to Marussep area in Engaru town to see Japanese wisteria.

It tooks about 45 min from Mombetsu by car.

Purple flowers have started in bloom.

I think they will be their best in next week.
