Nature where I thought there would be none

We went the other day to a place called 森林公園 (shinrin kouen) not far from the apartment. It was a great getaway from the flat duldrums of Gyoda. Of course, all of the scenery was carefully controlled so that it could barely be called "nature" but the park is very big and there were plenty of bugs and critters to satisfy me (lizards, anyone?). It was almost like being back home, while strolling down some random path that no one had been on in years.

I want to go again. Click on the thumbnail for the full gallery.
