This photo was taken at the lotus pond in Machida Yakushiike Park just before the lotus flowers began to bloom, a moment that reminds us of the changing seasons. If you enjoy photography, Machida Yakushiike Park is one of the spots you should not miss. The park offers a rich variety of natural colors throughout the year: cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and irises in early summer, lotuses in summer, and autumn leaves in fall. The combination of the waterfront scenery, bridges, and parkway is also picturesque, and the park is a comfortable place to spend time quietly clicking the shutter in the midst of nature.
