Tomato Plants
This year, I'll plant them a little earlier than last two years.
I hope I can get much more tomatoes this summer...!

Mill Creek Canyon
Hiking in Mill Creek Canyon. This time we went to Pipeline Trail. The signs on the trail also showed "Rattlesnake Gulch", so my husband was thrilled because he thought he could finally see one, but fortunately we didn't encounter none of them. Good for ME!
From the viewpoint.
There was a rainbow on the mountains. Well, you can't see it very well in the picture...
I don't know the name of these flowers...
This one might be "Scarlet Paintbrush", I guess.
These are "Yellow Gracier-Lily", also called "Snow-Lily".
These flowers reminded me "katakuri", which is named as "erythronium japonicum" in Latin. It has a purple flower instead of yellow. I found it every year in the forest behind our home, and felt that the early spring was there.
People used to got starch from its bulb, and this starch was called "katakuri-ko", which is replaced with potato starch today. But the name "katakuri-ko" is still used unchanged to call starch.

A Setting Sun
It's still chilly sometimes, but it's becoming warmer steadily.
A view on the direction of downtown with a setting sun.
