724.@A charm of photos

A news clip a few days ago. A photo via Reuters.
US foreign minister, or seceretary of states, singing with a guitar at a bar in Kiev.
Well, this is a sort of calculated performances, though.
Yet the photo fully shows his unexpected side.
He looks always natural with a quiet demeanour despite the fact that he has been constantly negotiating with the cunning old foxes around the world. A sort of master swordmen or well trained zen priests.
This feeling of mine seems to enhance the attractiveness of this photo. Taking photos and seeing them as well are the reflections of how selves see the world.
723. CME

It looks Dellinger fadeouts have occured, and 18 MHz band I use daily is completely wiped out.
Other bands seem to be the same.
NICT's ionogram shows no ionosphere. The so-called CME/corona mass ejection of large scale looks to have occured.
The agency's special report lists data about this CME.

Among them, this is a prediction chart by its sun wind simulator, SUSANOO.
It shows like we look down the orbital plane of sun's planets. Awesome.
The site is

722. One-day flower

A cactus blooming cheerfully.
Though this was shot in the morning, it already started withering.
The flower comes out in the night and goes out the following day.
It is said that, in its original home country, bats come to the flowers and suck nectar in the night. So the flower in the day time is simply a bonus to diurnal creature like us.

Mugi field.
At a farm road I frequently use as a bicycle path.

Present look of the ear.
White tiny ones seem to be
mugi flowers.

Koi-nobori season has come. So I put the mini-
koi-nobori outdoor.
Different from the nursery song, this is far below the roof. But this is the right place to appreciate the cute look.

The right is a shot at a nearby square.
Good weather makes everything nice.
