Find the Doggie in the Garden

These spidery flowers are celebrated with their own festival

Among all the hubbub of Japan’s big cities, the bits of green here and there make it calmer and more enjoyable

A beautiful flower along the way
Houses and shops find ways to include nature
Flowers brightened our walks

Doggy all dressed up in a kimona and carrying his own flowers
A Zen garden at one of the shrines we visited
Real life bonsai
And a flower to finish off the day and the post
