2025/07/12 Diary: "Starting at 8:30 AM"

熱帯魚BAR「CHLO」（クロ）:店主

Ugh!
I coaxed my kids, who had started watching YouTube and playing games as soon as they woke up, out to the local park.
It was 8:30 AM, and as radio calisthenics music played and elderly people exercised nearby, we started bug hunting.

Cicadas are singing loudly in their short lives to find their mates.

I can hear the cicadas, but
they aren't low enough to catch.
There are shells that still look fresh here and there.
An orange mushroom.
Wishbone flower (Torenia), also known as summer pansy.
I mistakenly thought it was a pansy, heh.
Maybe a relative of the rose mallow.
Trumpet vine.
It looks like big lips.
Purslane (Portulaca).

Running around the park lawn, swinging the net,

we caught two cabbage whites and one common brimstone,
which we released afterward.
A colorful juvenile Japanese skink?

Even just walking around a little,
there are so many flowers and animals, so summer really is great!
It's also nice that you can feel a cool breeze in the shade in the morning.

It might look like there's nothing there, but there are surprisingly many discoveries just by being in the local park.

Well, once we get home, the YouTube and gaming
will start right back up, though...
What should I make for lunch? Maybe I'll fry up some yakisoba.
