Sakasagawa park.
(This was published on our old site in February 2020.)
If it isn't raining hard I try to take a walk after breakfast. Leaving the house around 7AM I trace the backstreets alongside elementary school students making their way to classes. Little knots of friends chatting animatedly, bursts of speed as pairs race each other briefly, sleepy stragglers. -It's an entertaining mix which I leave behind as I cross the main road and slip into the park. Noting evidence of how the seasons change lends a satisfying rythmn to my daily exercise. I usually listen to podcasts as a I go but keep an eye out for anything of photographic interest. Trees, flowers, birds and insects are ready subjects with variety lent by changes in the weather.
