The Indian spot-billed duck and others seen on the Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park have a total of 5 birds, 2 pairs and singles. It is not clear whether everyone has a bed on the floating island at the base of Aioi Bridge. That's because Mr. Indian spot-billed duck is dead. Today, we will deliver the daily lives of Indian spot-billed duck with the summer of Ishikawajima Park.

The red color of common sage, the flower bed in Ishikawajima Park, shines as blue on the river surface.

When the clover in Paris became white all over, Mrs. Indian spot-billed duck often took a walk if he liked it.

If you are tired after taking a walk, take a break in the shade of cherry blossoms.

After all, Mr. Indian spot-billed duck also likes the bright scenery.

Oh!!‼

Everybody doing gymnastics every day on the opposite bank at 6:30 in the morning.

Mr. grey heron is aiming for an opportunity for breakfast, but Mr. Indian spot-billed duck is still in bed dexterity.

With a good position as the runner in the morning passes, Mr. Indian spot-billed duck has nothing to spare.

I don't get along with dogs, but if I keep a distance, coexistence is okay.

Well, the day is starting today.

I would like to continue watching Mr. Indian spot-billed duck and others.

A large panel called "NO LIMITS that gives the courage to keep the voice of friends away" and a model of a competing player suddenly appeared at Tsukishima Station. Four years before the opening of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government launched an exhibition introducing the competition at the Oedo Line station on the 25th as "NO LIMITS SPECIAL Oedo Station Stadium". In Chuo-ku, goalballs are introduced here at Tsukishima Station. Many people may hear the name of Goalball for the first time, but it was devised as a rehabilitation program for disabled soldiers who were visually impaired in World War II, and became an official event since the 1976 Toronto Games and spread worldwide It was (From the goalball association's website) Reading the explanation, "Since all senses other than vision, such as the footsteps of the opponent and the feel of the line," I am somewhat excited. It is being held at 22 stations on the Oedo Line, shooting at Shiodome Station, canoeing at Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station and 22 official events in 2020, and stamp rally is also being held. The Rio Paralympic Games will also begin, so it is a timely project. The exhibition will be held until September 21st.

August 23 is very hot on the calendar.

It is said that in one of the twenty-four season old calendar, the heat stops and cold air gradually increases in the morning and evening, but the harsh summer heat continues.

In such a situation, the water and green space created in the valleys of offices and residential buildings in the city creates a moment of coolness and peace while being thin.

One of them is the "Hana Bus and Water Lily Bowl" set up in the "ike" in the courtyard of condominiums in Tsukuda River City.

Lotus is aquatic plant of the family Lotus. The thickened part of the rhizomes is called lotus roots and is edible, but since the flowers are beautiful, many horticultural varieties have been produced as Hana buses since ancient times according to the color and size of the flowers.

I hear that water lilies are aquatic plants of the water lilies family. It blooms in the morning and closes in the afternoon, and is named as sleepy. The opening and closing time varies depending on the variety, and the sheep that grows naturally in Japan blooms in uncharacted (1-3pm) and closes at 5-6pm in the evening.

I feel relaxed by the casual everyday scene.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics were very exciting.

The Paralympic Games will begin on September 8 (Thursday).

At the station premises of the Toei Oedo Line, during the period from Thursday, August 25 to September 21 (Wed).

What is a goal ball?

"Three players wearing eye shades (blindfold) throw a ball with a bell (1.25 kg) on the court so that they roll each other and put the ball in the opponent's goal while defending their opponent's goal. Is scored, and the winner is determined based on the amount of score within a certain period of time. ]

　A genuine and delicious bread that does not use emulsifiers or yeast is baked.

　Invited by the slight fragrance of wheat, I put French bread and some in the basket.

　The last thing that caught my eye was the daiko bread.

Each bread is very unique. Idako bread tasted like a blue sea.

Get off at Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line. There is a shop along Kiyosumi-dori.

In early summer, the view looked down from the window next to the elevator on the 46th floor of the St. Luke's Tower (St. Luke's Tower).

"Near Tsukuda 1-chome"

In late summer, the scenery from the Sumida River Terrace behind the Ishikawajima Lighthouse Remains Moniment at Tsukuda 1-chome ()...I hope St. Luke's Tower in the clouds of extreme weather this year.

Tsukuda 1-3 chome and Tsukishima 1-3 chome are historic downtown surrounded by the Sumida River and Canals, adjacent to [River City 21, Harumi Triton Square, New City of High-rise Buildings]. Although it has been touristized, walking while feeling the wind and smell of the Showa era before the Edo era, Meiji, Taisho eras, and the war, I feel like I was standing on the historical stage of each era. The Japanese sweets shops here are the Futabaya and Furunogido, which opened before and after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

"Futabaya," Founded in 1868. The current Tsukuda 2-chome (5 minutes from Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine to the Harumi Canal) opened several years before the Great Kanto Earthquake, and preserves the handmade techniques inherited from the previous generation. "Tsukuda Mochi", which has a specialty soft fertilizer and apricots, is delicious. This year, it will open a store at the Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (navel exhibition).

"Futabaya"

"Furunogido" is around the first street of Monja Street. It was founded in 1924, the year after the Great Kanto Earthquake. Sample Japanese sweets are lined up in the case. "Dorayaki" and "Kuriman" have a simple taste.
