Working in an online environment like TSG can result in long hours everyday, 7 days a week of manning the site and helping customers as well as researching and understanding all the golf clubs offered here in Japan. Believe it or not, I actually get tired of looking at golf stuff sometimes so yesterday morning my wife and I decided it be a good chance to go to a nearby mark called Showa no Mori with the dogs for a nice morning hike. While the weather is cooling now we’re still seeing temperatures between 19-24C which is wonderful for this time of year. The colors of the leaves have barely started changing yet and I can still get away with shorts and t-shirt on certain days.
While there are a total of 11 parks here in the Kiminomori golf community its nice to go with the dogs to a park like Showa no Mori which is bigger than the entire community we live in. It gives the dogs a great chance to let loose and go all out without holding back. Yes don’t worry they are playing in the picture below… Saku likes to bare his fangs when he is playing.
Playing hard requires lots of fluids. For some reason the dogs always love the water at the parks…
The gardeners and maintenance crews were hard at work trimming Japanese Maki trees which are all around Showa no Mori. The Maki is Chiba’s prefectural tree.
Saku is certainly beginning to look his age at over 7 years old. Hana is only 2 and keeps Saku young. She probably annoys him a lot which is why when the play hard he shows his teeth.
All in all a fun morning which we ended at an outdoor dog cafe where the dogs got yummy food and we had lunch. Now its back to work!
Few more from that morning taken with Nikon D5100 and 35mm f1.8G lens.
