Today marks the end of May. Although it's May, it felt like a rainy season day. Even in the rain, craftsmen continue pruning the plants. They prepare the trees, which will soon grow vigorously. There are scenes that can only be captured because of the rain. Let's enjoy rainy days even more in June.

Looking at this photo, I realized there are scenes that can only be captured because of the rain. By carefully capturing and sharing often-overlooked daily life, we discover new perspectives. This time, you have beautifully captured the cool image of the craftsmen. We appreciate their effort and dedication. This photo is a wonderful entry for the diary contest.

As the title 'A spider's web shining in rainbow colors' suggests, this is a beautiful photo of a blurred spider's web with fresh green in the background. It's a scene often overlooked, but the way it was captured highlights its beauty. This is the first time I've felt a spider's web to be so beautiful! We look forward to more wonderful scenes like this!
