Showa Kinen Park in autumn 2014 (2)

I sat on a bench in my favorite placeみんなの原っぱ
and had onigiri lunch there.







At one corner of みんなの原っぱ, yellow cosmoses were
in bloom.



Then I walked to 日本庭園.







（ジュウガツサクラ）




I walked on to 花の丘 and enjoyed 赤いそばの花.





I enjoyed “once-in-a-life-time encounters” and came back
to my apartment at 5:00pm.

What a peaceful day I had!

I walked 22744 steps in a day.

Showa Kinen Park in autumn 2014 (1)

I wake up early in the morning but stay in bed until seven
listening to the radio.

I got up at seven this morning, had breakfast at eigt
watching the TV morning drama by NHK and did the washing.

Oh, what a beautiful day!

I decided to go to Showa Kinen Park in Tachikawa.

I did not go there in summer, because I was not in good condition.

At the Tachikawa gate I was surprised to see so many people
coming to Showa Kinen Park.



The leaves of ginkgoes have already turned yellow.







I was glad to see several swan boats on the pond　水鳥の池.

to ‘the NIKON PLAZA Ginza’

Yesterday M-san and I went to ‘the NIKON PLAZA Ginza’
to see Ms. Hiroko Yamaguchi's photos of 川崎子ども能.

Ms. Yamaguchi is a member of 能楽写真協会 and 全日本写真連盟.







Are there many 能楽教室 for little children in Japan?
I’m afraid not.

In Kawaski City they hold 夏休み能楽体験・鑑賞教室
during the summer vacation.

It is very good and important that little boys and girls
have chances to appreciate or experience traditional
performing arts, I think.

The boys and girls in the photos made me so happy.

After enjoying the photos, we had a delicious lunch
at 銀座・熊さわ.



Then we enjoyed walking along 中央通 in the rain.



We had a tea break in 銀座文明堂.

I was surprised I had room for dessert.

My appetite is growing!

We had a nice Saturday in Ginza.
