Purple Flowers
Sometimes, it’s the small things that bring joy to you. It catches you offguard and brings a smile to you.
On a day I went for a walk, I encountered beautiful purple flowers. It’s Spring, yet not really Spring. With Summer about to enter yet the weather being nice and cool that day, it was certainly an interesting day.

Cherry Blossoms at Yoyogi Park
Having seen the cherry blossoms in Okinawa, I couldn’t understand the hype over hanami or cherry blossom viewing. I found the dark pink flowers overrated. To think that people would actually look forward to these flowers blooming annually, I couldn’t help but to find it a tad bit strange and a tad bit ridiculous. They were just flowers that were nice to look at but nothing of the extraordinary.

Peacocks, Lizards and Coyotes, oh my!
It’s been a while since I last posted something travel related. (Although I’ve been posting, most of the posts fall into a different category.) So, I’m hoping today’s post will be a bit of a treat!Not long ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, CA.
It was at this arboretum that I encountered my two firsts. My first first: seeing a peacock in real life as well as hearing it speak for the first time. Second first: encountering a coyote alone. Yes, I really did encounter a coyote… More on it in a bit.
So, it’s safe to say this arboretum is known for its peacocks. These birds are beautiful but they’re loud.
