Close to our Tokyo apartment is Hikarigaoka park which covers 149 acres. A small section of the park is reserved as a bird preserve so we get a lot of birds around the park:
 |
| Heron |
 |
| Kingfisher |
 |
| Ducks sunbathing |
 |
| Duck bathing (kind of an oxymoron) |
 |
| Hawk bathing in a small pond |
 |
| Red Flanked Bluetail |
In Japan the Bluetail brings happiness so they are a good omen. Even though it is winter there are flowers and interesting bamboo if you know where to look:
 |
| Camelia tree |
 |
| Daffodils |
 |
| Tortoise Shell Bamboo |
I walk the park each day and am happily documenting the changes. Many trees are starting to bud out in anticipation of spring.
