Flower & Bird Garden - 花鳥園


On Sunday afternoon after church, I met up with my friend Yumi and some of her friends (Paulo, Ryota and Keiko) and we walked around a place called Kachoen. The Chinese characters making up the name of the place say it all - Flower (花)Bird (鳥) Garden (園). For me this was a special treat, as I love viewing all of God's creations up close. Of course it is much better to see these things in their natural settings, but since that is not exactly possible (or easily done) in Japan, why not dish out a few yen and help support the economy?


So we saw all sorts of cool flowers/plants, and lots of exotic birds as well! Since I was unable to see the "promised monkeys" at Mino Falls, I was really excited to be able to get close to the birds on Sunday! God has such amazing creativity! Look at all the varieties of birds and plants, and you cannot help but be overwhelmed and humbled. He has made the heavens and the earth and the seas, and all the creatures therein. Awesome!


日曜日の午後、友美の友達(パウロ、良太、ケイコ)と一緒に花鳥園に行きました。名前の通り、花と鳥の園です。土曜日に箕面の滝に行ったけど、クリスティナも友美も「猿が見れるよ!」と約束したのに見れなかったので今日は神様の創造物をゆっくり見たいと切に願いました。いろんな植物や鳥が見れて最高だった!神様の創造力(想像力でもそうだけど)は本当にすごい!本当に楽しい一日でした!神様ありがとう!
