After my dad left for Finland, we spent time doing the things I've mentioned in the last two posts of Yurigahara koen (work and plan).
We had a heat wave pass through, which was amazing and horrible at the same time (lol).
The lilacs and wisteria began to fade, the dandelions were puffballs and everywhere was covered in willow.
Beautiful to watch it fall from the trees like snow. Hard to capture though!
Seishin riverside park has really grown in and become so lush!
After Seishin, we decided to eat lunch at Tenjin-yama koen. Another favorite park.
The red maple and the orange and red rhododendrons are so intense it's hard to even describe. Or take photos of!
Elisabeth entertained us as we ate. :)
...and then she fell asleep and we meandered around the park looking for quiet spots to shit and chat and give her a chance to snooze in peace... harder said than done!
We went and explored a quiet shrine tucked away in a corner of Tenjin-yama.
The road was lined with blooming lily of valley.
Also, this little variety of iris.
I love how she was sleeping...
The little prayers at the shrine.
We sure ended up missing that weather! (it was followed by about 10days of rain!) ick.
