Well, yes, I admit that flowers don't really suit my image. I guess my image is more suited to violent and extreme stuff...but guess what? I'm a sucker for pretty flowers...
Just over 2 weeks ago, roses were in full bloom...and they were put in display at a local park. Until now, I've mostly been to the park alone (Well, people mostly thinks I'm joking when I say "Hey, let's go the park to look at flowers!!"), but this time I was accompanied by my lovely date, Megumi. And it's nice to have company...except that this time, I'm limited to looking "only" at flowers...nothing more...haha
Nah, just kidding...why would I want to look at "other flowers", right? After all, I am dating the 2nd best rose of the day....
My junior, Spaghetti-girl was supposed to join as well but canceled at the last minute...
Too bad...really needed a cameraman at that time...haha
Anyway, the weather was bright and sunny that day...perfect day for a stroll at the park looking at roses. After a simple sandwich for lunch under the cooling shades of the parasol while listening to a relaxing piano performance, we joined the throng of crowd walking through the rose filled park.
I took plenty of photos..about 100++...I'll only display my favourite ones here...
I have to say, I really enjoyed myself that day...
Looking at the vibrant colours, sniffing at the sweet fragrance...can't imagine any better Sunday than that day.
And Megumi was a very good sport!! Well, you know that I don't(and will never) say normal things when giving comments....which applies to comments on roses in this case. For example:
"That one looks like a 40 year-old Lady in an 1840 English court"
"This one look like a prostitute...looking all nice but empty inside(no fragrance)"
"That one look like a 12 year-old Russian girl all dressed up for her party"
"This one looks like a 14 year-old teen dressed in gothic fashion"
*Please don't ask me why and what those comments are....these just come up in my mind when I looked at the roses that day.
While most people will give me the eyebrow or ignore me completely, Megumi was with me all the way...laughing along to my silly comments. The fact that she enjoyed my silly, incomprehensible comments worries her a little....well, a normal, average Japanese wouldn't react to my nonsense like she did...hahahaha.
We ended the day with a rose flavoured ice-cream, the chilled fragrant sweetness savoured at a picnic table while reminiscing on my silly jokes...
Life...is good.
