Trip out of the city! Tokyo is so big and FULL, sometimes I forget there is the whole rest of the country outside. Took a train north to the coast to this amazing flower park. They have things blooming all year, and give you a brochure when you enter that tells you the expected showtime for each month. The mix of colors was amazing. So much so my camera wasn't quite sure how to handle it all.

| This reminded me of a pool at Yellowstone National Park. |
 |
| This is where my camera just wigged out at all the color. |
 |
| I want to plant these someday. |

| The AMAZING fields of Baby Blue Eyes. |
The difference a polarizing filter can make.

| Pilgrimage to the top of the hill to ring the bell. |
 |
| Children's Day is coming up, and one of the ways to celebrate is fly these koi windsocks. |
 |
| I honestly forget I live on an island until I come across the coastline. |
 |
| Taking their "babies" to the park. To push them in a stroller. Oy. |
 |
| While walking up the hill I couldn't help but hum the old "The Bear Went Over the Mountain." And what I saw was COUNTRYSIDE. So amazing to see green open spaces! |
 |
| I liked the bands of color. |
 |
Wisteria just beginning to bloom!

| Train ride home though rice paddies. |
