Nogawa Park and Sengenyama (April 29th)

Nogawa Park... The willow leaves are beautiful now!

We went to Nogawa Park in our neighborhood.
We haven't been there for a while, and we were amazed all those trees are green now!
The seasons have changed so quickly.
There were lots of kinds of flowers blooming in the park.
After the Nogawa park we went to Sengenyama park, where we found lots of yellow orchid flowers.

久々に野川公園へ。川沿いの柳の緑がすっかり鮮やかになっていました。
園内の花々も、色とりどりに咲いていました。そこから、浅間山まで足を伸ばしてみると、キンランがたくさん咲いていました。
