The Beauty of Sapporo - Nijuyonken Park


まぁ、これが本当にビューティー・オブ・札幌かどうかわかんないけど、とにかく今日はせっかくの(2010年の最後の?)天気日和だったので、ローラーブレードを履いて近所を廻ってみました。すると、けっこう近くに公園があるって初めて知りました。2週間くらい前に来たら最高な紅葉が見れたはず!二十四軒公園は普通の公園と変わらないものなんだけど、また天気の良い日があればあそこでゆっくりできると思います。


少し、神様の御言葉を開き、主との時間をも過ごせたので安息日にピッタリな活動だった!運動にもなったし、たぶんローラーブレードを履くのが4ヶ月ぶりだったかもしれない!神様、この素晴らしい一日をありがとう!


Not sure if anyone else would consider Nijuyonken Park a beautiful part of Sapporo - it's hardly any different from any other park. But I will say that it was nice to discover it - a mere 3-4 minute blade from my apartment, and it has a baseball field and playing area for kids. It was great to just sit and watch kids playing soccer, tag, whatever.


I think if I had come here a couple of weeks earlier, I would have seen some beautiful foliage! Just the same, it didn't look too bad from where I sat. Today was a beautiful day for blading - sunny and 15C... unexpected after last week's highs of 5C, and especially with winter right around the corner! It's supposed to snow 3 days next week! So I am thankful that God gave me this day to just relax, do a little exercise, get into His Word, and enjoy nature.
