Koko-en Fall

Last Friday Audrey and I decided to go to Koko-en for a date night. The garden usually closes around 5 but they have been staying open late for momiji viewing. Momiji (Japanese Maple) are Audrey's favorite trees and they are especially stunning during the fall season. As we entered the garden we were overwhelmed by the beauty that surrounded us. There were spot lights on many of the trees which beautifully illuminated the intense reds and oranges. It was so nice to enjoy the peace and quite and become immersed in Gods magnificent creation. We feel so blessed to have each other and to be able to experience all of these wonderful adventures together. If you want to see more pictures from Koko-en please visit our Shutterfly page where there is an album full of pictures from the garden.

And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-- trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. Genesis 2:9(a)
It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters. Ezekiel 31:7
