Recent Updates

I quit RareJob lessons at the end of August, 2016. It was my 3rd anniversary of taking lessons. I thought it was enough because I am getting older and I don't expect any job opportunity with English related. We don't have any foreign neigbors in the countryside.

I have already uploaded many pictures up to now. I feel it takes me quite a lot of time to upload another pictures, so I started writing another diary.

Thank you!

Apr. 26 - Himeji Castle, Zoo, and Hiokayama Kouen Park

My husband had an appointment with his doctor the national hospital this morning.  We left our place at 8:30 a.m. and arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later.  

As soon as we arrived, my husband headed to the respiratory department.  He has been told that one of his health problems comes from COPD (=Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) because of his 40 years' heavy smoking habits.  I left my husband at the hospital so that I could take pictures of Himeji castle.  The hospital is located just a few blocks away from the white castle.  



Viola, the winter season flower here, were still in bloom.
I could smell the sweet fragrance when I passed by.






Some travellers on the boat were passing the bridge where I was staying.
The castle is surronded by the pond. 






I walked a few minutes more to visit Himeji City Zoo because I really wanted more pictures of the while owls.  I found the lovely owls earlier this month when I accompanied my husband who had an appointment with his doctor at the urology department at the hospital.   









The male owl looks like he is winking all the time.

I never get bored looking at him. 




This owl with black is a female white owl. 




Ural Owl or Fukurou


Tawny Eagle or Sougen Washi



I found a duck which just come out of water.





Flamingo

Cockatiel








Here is another pig in wild!







After finishing lunch at our favorite restaurant in Himeji, we both enjoyed visiting Hiokayama Kouen Park in Kakogawa city.







The yellow is the youngest and the busiest looking at each direction.



The owner must be very good at handling these French Bulls.
