The lotus and the lily pads

In Suginami-Ku in Tokyo you can find Zenpukuji Park (善福寺公園). In that park in early summer the lotus flowers and lily pads are quite a sight.

Retired Japanese couple picnic in Zenpukuji Park (善福寺公園)

善福寺公園

I like to take walks on weekdays when the crowds are nonexistent and the weather is good. Before rainy season, I visited Zenpukuji Park on just such a day. The only other people I see on such adventures are retired people. This couple had an exquisite picnic prepared. After this many years of marriage, they enjoyed each other’s company not by conversing but by reading. (If you look closely you can see his earbuds.)
