This page begins and ends with June 28th and a visit to Jindai Botanical Garden. That was the only outing we had this month. What's happening to us? No mountains climbed, no far away travels, no big adventures? I don't know, possibly it's due to the weather being way too hot for comfort. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

| Begin June 28th |
The first two shots in this row show the very red flowers of Erythrina crista-galli. The 3rd shot shows the entrance area to the Big Lawn at Jindai Botanical Garden.

All three photos in this row show the Big Lawn area. In the first shot the Pampas Grass partially shows on the right edge of the photo. The second photo is zoomed in somewhat and the third shot is zoomed in to show the patch of Pampas Grass, which is just barely beginning to flower.

Now we move on to the pond area and two shots of amazingly beautiful pink water lilies. Then we headed out the back entrance to go to lunch and we found some blooming Cymbidium nipponicum Orchids in bloom near the back entrance.

Here is one additional shot of the Cymbidium nipponicum Orchid. After we ate lunch at a soba shop just outside of the back entrance of Jindai Botanical Garden, we went down the road to the Aquatic portion of the garden and found this interesting purple flower growing there.

In the Aquatic portion of the Botanical Garden we also found an abundance of the Saururus chinensis plant. Not every leaf on these plants is white, just most of them. To me, it appears that a bird crapped on the leaves of this plant.

After we finished up in the Aquatic Park we went back to the main Botanical Garden and walked past the pond area (a different pond than shown up above in Row 11) and found more water lilies in bloom here than ever before. WOW!

| End June 28th, End July 2015's Photos, Begin Miscellaneous Links |
Here are links to separate web pages - all of them will open in a new window (or new tab). The first link shows some photos of our DVD Collection, an AVI Movie of our Home Theater System and 9 photos of our Sharp Aquos TV. The 2nd link shows our entire DVD collection in DVD Profiler (if you're asking yourself what might be good to rent for the weekend). The DVD's will be sorted by date purchased. You can click on the "Title" Column to sort that way if you desire. The 3rd link shows our entire DVD collection in php DVD Profiler, which is much more sophisticated than the plain vanilla DVD Profiler just above it. The 4th link takes you to a set of pages which show you the FRONT cover-art of our entire DVD collection.
