It's not just the season for lots of red, yellow and orange leaves, in fact, in this park, its still a little early.....which is great because it gives us a reason to go back, if we have some time of course...only approx 6 weekends to go.....of course, the first stop was the parked budgie (buggy)...
and many pretty dahlia....huge ones and beautiful colours....
and the most beautiful displays of chrysanthemums, the ones that Japanese designers have used for centuries. In fact, when I look at the care and devotion needed to raise such flowers, it almost feels like a step back in time. It seems like almost nowhere and no one in our modern life would have the time or patience to grow such things of beauty, just for looking at and for display......I guess this makes them even more special, and the fact that soon they will wither and die....
..to indicate the size of some of these flowers...
...incredible, like soldiers (or students) in rows, uniform and steady....
...with amazing variations of bonsai, topiary and these beauties, like a waterfall of flowers.....all on a bamboo frame....
such prettiness, so many people with cameras soaking up the day and even a school of grey haired photography students focused on catching shots of a beautiful kingfisher who was busy catching little silver fish from a big pond....we took the last time out from the day to sit by the koi carp pond and watch them silently swimming and the crows interacting in the matsu pine trees, singing and dancing, being silly and jumping down to splash in the pond..... unlike the really angry squarking ones we see around our house fighting over the garbage.....
