Thursday October 4th - Next day I arrived at the Sakura nursery ready to be mercilessly attacked by a barrage of lego, only to be told today was also picnic day! I could hardly believe my luck. We got a bus down to the same campsite as the day before. Before then picnic was the obligatory walk along the lakeside. Which from a photography point of view was fantastic, absolutely no wind that day, so I was blessed with some fantastic photo opportunities of the lake, even if I only had my phone to take advantage of them. The staff at Sakura nursery made a big effort to try and talk to me on the walk, its tough as they know literally no English, but with some dictionary use we managed to get a few sentences across to each other. On this walk I also discovered a new found love for climbing trees, which apart from being great fun impresses the kids no end. Not that I’m a show off or anything. Only problem is that the kids then try to copy me, which is obviously tough considering they are barely over 2ft high sometimes. Eventually we got to our picnic spot where we faced an onslaught of dragon flies much to the amusement of the kids. After eating it was playtime once again, tho only for a short while as the bus came to pick us up pretty quick.

Even armed with only my phone I managed to snap a fair few photos of the day. Due to time constraints I’m combining any photos from the same place in one album. So to see all the photos see the Sakura Nursery album for October. Although as usual I’m putting my favourites for the day below. Visit the photography page for the album!
