Yokohama Kokuritsu Daigaku Huzoku Chugakou
I pass by this place every workday, to and fro Yui’s daycare. Will miss this scene for sure.
a Wonderful God
This autumn had been exceptionally beautiful. With our schedule being loaded, preparing for something new in our lives, we didn’t have the luxury this year to go sightseeing autumn’s wonderful colours. Nevertheless, no matter how busy we were (and once there was a week when our hearts were really troubled), we still had the chance to pause and try to catch our breath as we looked at God’s wonderful creation. Cloudless blue skies, tree trunks so dark, ground matted with yellow, gold and red, colours heightened by the setting sun. Snow-topped Fuji against the backdrop of the blue sky; against a golden sky; against a sky with hue of pinks, purples, reds and blues. My heart can only sing praises of You, dear God as we look on.
Autumn is for long walks…
…With love ones, to bask in autumn’s beauty.
I look up at the cloudless blue sky and my heart soars with gratitude and joy. Salamat po, Lord. π

Being able to see this beauty every working day, when the weather is fine, is absolutely one great blessing to be thankful for.
I’m afraid my phone camera didn’t give the place justice though.
I actually turn speechless when I get up from my seat and look up and see everything bathed in gold and surrounded by the blue sea. Absolutely beautiful.
to friendship and nature
Spent the day with one of my bestfriends, Maj. The friendship, the laughter, the good talk over good food and good scenery leaves much to be thankful for (not to mention the really beautiful, glittering gift!! – thank you Maj!). I’m really happy that even when we only get to see each other every other month or so, the deep friendship and respect is always there. Thankful. π
Thankful for hubs as well to have prodded me to go shopping since I’m in Tokyo anyways. Mottainai daw. And thankful for Maj to oblige and accompany me even when she’s not really into shopping. π
After good food (will feature it later in goodfoodhunt.wordpress.com), before heading to Harajuku for some shopping, we dropped by Maj’s favorite koen (garden). So glad that she shared this scenic place, Koishikawa koen (ε°η³ε·γγγ).
Our only regret though was that we both forgot to bring our cameras with us. Hence, we had to make do with our iPhones. I’m quite satisfied with some, but then again, I don’t claim to be a photography enthusiast/expert. π Still, I’m sharing some here, unedited.
Autumn colors on water.
And of course, there’s nothing like koyou with the perfectly blue sky as the backdrop.
As with most sizable Japanese gardens, Koishikawa also sells the traditional green tea and wagashi (εθε). Wagashi is the traditional red beans sweets which is usually paired with green tea and comes in ΓΌber pretty designs. Agree? This one even have a dash of gold on the sakura leaf.
We ended the day shopping in Harajuku. And Harajuku being Harajuku, there were lots of people on cosplay. To quote Maj, this shot was just perfect to cap a great day.
Thanks Maj! Till next bonding time! π

Was about to go to sleep but I just had to share this. Today’s reading is about waiting for God’s perfect timing. It brought a smile on my face as thankfully I muttered, “God’s perfect timing is sleeping right here beside me”. π
