We arrived at our destination, Imori Pond, via Okubo Pond!
Scenery
▼I parked my car and went to the entrance.
▼Snow remains.
▼Although there was wind, Mt. Myoko could be seen reflected in the water.
▼ There is melt water here and there.
▼There appears to be a hiking trail leading from Imori Pond to Otomi Lake.
That's quite a distance.
▼Asian skunk-cabbage is now visible at the far end.
▼Asian skunk-cabbage were spreading all over the area.
▼Scenery of the Imori Pond side.
▼I photographed Mizubashou with a telephoto lens.
The area where Mizubashou is blooming is farther away than other marshlands, so it is better to have a telephoto lens if you want to take pictures.
▼Bull-headed shrike (Lanius bucephalus)
▼？
▼Japanese Butterbur.
Butterbur shoot has a little bitter taste and it is a typical wild spring vegetable.
▼Ostrich fern？
On the way home, we stopped at the nearby Red Pond, but it was covered with snow.
It looks like it would have to be May~June.
▼Red Pond was frozen.
Information
Summary
When I came in the summer, it did not feel very marsh-like, but when I came in the spring, it was a rich marsh.
If the weather was clear, we would be able to photograph the beautiful Kagami-Myoko and Mizubasho.
