AT THE KARIYA PARK WITH MY SISTER ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Hello my Dearest Friends,
KARIYA PARK is my favorite place to go in May, usually at the time of my Birthday. This is the time when the beautiful Sakura; Japanese cherry trees are blossoming. Last couple of years I was there with my daughter and our little munchkins. I posted about it too, so maybe some of you remember. You can refresh your memory HERE if you like; this is the post from the last year.
This sign gives you a brief introduction about the history of this tranquil place, but you can also read about it HERE.
Anyway, this year we went to NEW YORK for my Birthday and Sakura trees were blossoming later because of the bad watcher. Nevertheless, we went with my sister only, because my daughter had to work that day. It was still cold, but sunny at the beginning but it didn't last long. The clouds began to covering the half of the sky and son was gone behind them. Well, I still managed to take some decent photos, although it wasn't easy, because it was also little bit windy.
Another problem with taking photos at this place is how busy it is, including professional photographers taking photos of their clients. So I did too; I took photos of my sister with my new camera, looking like professional ๐๐๐
Here she is; my SUPERMODEL........I miss her already, but I am excited about going to Slovakia next year for three months ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Another supermodel was a mother duck with her little ducklings, but they was too far so I could get a close up. Soooo adorable ๐
Besides the trees there were also hot pink Magnolias outside of the park.

Thank you for visiting; I hope you enjoyed this little tour trough our beautiful KARIYA PARK ๐ธ๐๐ธ

Gorgeous photos of that beautiful place. It is a truly wonderful place to celebrate spring!
Yes it is and there is quite of bit of birds too, but they re high in the trees. The squires are very friendly, but I forgot to bring some nuts, lol. Altough my favorite were the little ducklings. Thank you so much my Dear Melinda for stopping by ๐
Loved your outstanding blog @lenasveganliving. Your photos are just gorgeous and I can see good looks run in the family. ๐ Those little ducklings were oh, so cute and those blossom trees are exquisite. What a picturesque place. Belated Birthday wishes my dear friend. (U & R )
Hello Trudee, I am glad to see you. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your support. I always enjoy reading your heartwarming comments ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Beautiful park and the ducks are really cute!
Thank you so much Sweetie ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Oh dear Lena, your photos as always are simply breathtaking :) I see your sister, like you is indeed a supermodel! You should have had her snap a few pics of you!! Love those sakura blossoms, so perfect and happy! I see why you love visiting! A happy belated birthday to you my dear!
You are always so sweet Troy, thank you so much. I am happy you enjoyed the photos. And by the way there is more photos of us here, including me. This was actually the post I was suggesting that you see. We went to New York for couple days, the whole family. But you don't have to comment if you don't have time:

Howdy Miss Lena! oh, there are so many gorgeous scenes in this post, my gosh! Wonderful. So this Canadian city joined with Kariya but they came and put in a fabulous Japanese garden and pond, what did the Canadian city do over in Japan? Anyway, the photos are very professional Miss Lena, this post is so beautiful.
Howdy Janton! Honestly, I couldn't find any information about Mississauga creating anything in Kariya Japan. Altough I found this short info: "The Sister City initiative was introduced in the 1950s as a way to develop communication networks between cities of the world, for the principal purpose of reducing misunderstandings and conflict between nations, particularly in the aftermath of World War II.
The benefits of sister city partnerships go well beyond friendship. They are a way for both cities to enhance their global reputation and trade, to provide learning opportunities for governments and business, and to provide a cultural and educational exchange between both cities. The City now boasts over 80 Japanese companies that contribute to our local economy."
Anyway, thank you so much for visiting, I am happy you like the photos. I guess my new camera is doing pretty good job, lol
Howdy again Miss Lena, yes the new camera seems wonderful but you still have to hold it steady and have a eye for good shots which apparently you do! Thanks for sending that information, I wonder if any amercan companies are over there in Kariya?
Well thank you Janton, that is very nice of you to say. And about Kariya and American companies I don't have any information, but American companies are everywhere, so I am sure they are there too. Well, you can make research if you like, lol.
Howdy again Miss Lena! Are you complaining that Amercan companies are everywhere or just stating a fact? lol..are they in Slovakia?
Just stating the fact, lol...............I am sure they are in Slovakia too, but not so much, since Germany is the big shot there, lol.
A joyous ride of colour profusion..............absolutely a feast for the spirit and soul.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment and for stopping by my Dear ๐ธ๐๐ธ
