This page covers ALL of July - a pretty uneventful month due to lots of rain and a weekend typhoon too! Click on any thumbnail to begin.

On July 8th we went to Nogawa Park (the park near our house) and took a few pictures. The first photo here is an Albizia julibrissin or Nemunoki in Japanese. The 2nd and 3rd shots are an Orange Day Lily.

In this row you can see a rather large spider in the first shot and a plant which has white splotched leaves in the 2nd shot. And, that was all we saw at Nogawa Park that is worth being included here.

On July 16th we went on our 3rd tour of the Suntory Beer Brewery! On the way there we passed this one sign which I thought was cute "Ouchi" - sounds like OUCHY, maybe they make things which make you say "OUCH!" We also passed a park which had some Lotus Plants - some of which were in bloom and some of which were in bud. Such a beautiful flower.

In the first shot here I zoomed in close to this beautiful Lotus bud. The 2nd shot is the same bud, but not zoomed in as close. The 3rd shot is a group of Lotus plants.

Here is one photo in the Suntory Brewery tasting room. They give you about 15 minutes to drink as many as 3 glasses of their Premium Malts Beer! It's an excellent beer - which explains why we have returned for the tour 3 times. We buy it in the store from time to time, but it's expensive - about US$12.00 for a 6-pack of normal 12 ounce (350 ml) cans.

On July 29th Kazuya and I found some Cymbidium nipponicum orchids near Jindai Botanical Gardens. This orchid is a saprophyte on the roots of certain trees. The first shot here shows some buds and the 2nd shot shows flowers. The 3rd picture is merely a cropped image of the 2nd shot.
