Waterlillies

Oh my goodness.
It only took me forever and a day to get around to posting photos from my trip to Japan.
Sorry for the delay, everyone...!

This picture was taken in Hiroshima's absolutely breathtaking Peace Park.
The park is lovely: flat, covered in trees and spots to sit, beautiful monuments, and full of kids ALL the time. Which is adorable, because Japanese schoolchildren are SO much better behaved than Canadian ones!
It's located directly around the epicenter where the atomic bomb was dropped, which meant we also got to see the atomic dome - the only building to survive the bombing (it's quite the sight to see - melted bricks and metal scaffolding really make you sit back and think)

These beauties were growing in the pond around the bell of peace.
If you look closely you can see the hidden finned surprise (but only in the close-up with the single lilly)
There were teeny tiny fish swimming in the pond.
