Kagurame Pond Iris Garden

Some friends and I visited Kagurame pond near Lake Shidako for an annual iris viewing event. Even though light showers came and went, the flowers were spectacular. Gratuitous wallpaper photos follow.

The grass around the lake is teeming with croaking frogs

A little rain didn't keep people from coming to enjoy the flowers.

A pretty place to play in the rain
