Kurihama Flower Park

Millinophile and Chickadee went to Kurihama Flower Park for their Spring Festival, but it was raining, so the Festival was canceled. On the plus side, the park was basically deserted. 

 So many bicycles. And part of Millinophile's finger.

 A shrine we passed on the way to the park.

 A giant field of poppies. You can come and pick the poppies in October, apparently.









 The other end of the poppy field.

 The poppy field from above. You can also see part of the city of Kurihama in the mist.

 At the top of the park is Adventureland, which boasts this large statue of Godzilla.

 "Endress Summer" Hydrangeas.





 Caterpillar!







 These water fountains are really hard to drink out of.

 The ocean.





 These smelled terrible.



 The greenhouse had all sorts of interesting succulents.













 This is a mutant daisy, with two flower heads on one stem.



 A chrysalis.

Fuzzy caterpillar.

 A beatle.

Some scary stairs we climbed down.
