on my walks

The weather has turned from nippy to very humid and warm. Expecting some rain here and there.

Thought I'd share some of the sights along one of my walking routes (have several depending on how I feel)...I love checking out the different plant that people have....like this house always has beautiful flowers blooming. The owners put out different plants out on their wall with the seasons. (Azaleas now, hydrangea in summer).

If you notice on the top floor, she has orchids growing too.

I am amazed at all the different types of flowers/plants. I don't know a lot of their names, but like taking in all the colors and textures.

There were all these irises in front this particular home.

Spotted Hello Kitty in front of this house.

(Actually this house usually has beautiful tulips in Spring but this year I guess the owner planted pansies and violas instead, still pretty.)

There is a woman who has a HUGE garden along my walking route.

Fruit trees, flowers, veggies....kind of like a secret garden, yeah?

(To have a garden this big is premium because land is so expensive in Japan.)

Not sure what type of flowers these are but I thought they were beautiful. Loved the vibrant pink.

Spotted this yellow and black mini wagon on one of my walks.

(There was someone standing across the way from it, so I took this picture while walking past it, which is why it isn't centered at all.)

Every time I pass by this house, this car is semi-covered, with just a towel over the hood.

On this particular day, it was not covered at all. I think it is a Toyota Celica, though I am not too sure. I asked Satoshi what he thought it was but he said he didn't know.

What interesting things do you see on your walks?

p.s. the 2nd photo is of blue daisies.
