capturing in prose
When summer comes to an end, I feel like going out and looking for summer, not because I love summer, but because I feel relieved that summer is coming to an end.
夏が終わろうとすると夏を探しに行きたくなるのは、夏が好きだからではなく、夏が終わろうとしていることにホッとしているから。

It depends on the person whether you would be happier eating the blueberries without having to think about which ones look tasty, or if a bird had eaten them while you were still thinking about it.
どれがおいしそうか考えずにブルーベリーを食べたほうが幸せか、それともおいしそうかどうかを考えている間に鳥に食べられてしまったほうが幸せかはその人による。

Now, it’s not a good time to visit any gardens in Japan. The temperature is extreme and exceptionally high for one month compared to common years. The weather forecasting company says it is indeed 4-5 degrees Celsius (7-9 degrees Fahrenheit) higher. When I visited the garden shown in the photo above, it was 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). I could say it is crazy. I gave up on staying there just to take photos. The next photo was taken at the Japanese Pear Orchard next to the garden. I returned to my car right after taking this photo for the record.
I would like to show a bottom picture taken last summer. A picture itself looks not so beautiful. You would see one butterfly and quiet flowers. I prefer to those type of garden. It was rather natural and wild. The flowers were indigo, which is completely different from the color we know. In fact, indigo is made from leaves. And the important thing is that the temperature was below 25 degrees.

You’re at your hungriest when you think, “Okay, what should I eat today?” even if you don’t know what that is.
「さて、今日は何を食べようか」と考える時が一番お腹が空いている。たとえそれが何かわからなかったとしても。
