What’s this??? 未知との遭遇

What do you think it is???
何に見えますか??
突如現れた物体のそのビジュアルに驚き、撮影せずにいられまいことか。

I didn’t recognize what this was for while. It looks like an ancient bird or dinosaur, doesn’t it?
In fact it is a kind of flower or wild weed. At night in the light of a flashlight, it seems to move!!
Does anyone know what this is called?

 

花でした。名前、ご存じですか??

こちらは千秋公園ふもとの池の亀。今日は目視にて4匹、かなりの大きさです。秋田駅至近でこんなにのどかな景色が楽しめるのは、私にとってはよきことかな。

There are some rather large turtles occupying the pond near Senshu park. A large egret seems to be the master of the pond, but these turtles are more qualified as they are there all year round. It is so nice to have such a peaceful environment right in the center of our city!
