In the red land of Kochia!

On the 17th of last month (October) I had the chance to take a day off from my super packed schedule as I was done with a series of exams. So me and my friends decided to visit the Hitachi Seaside Park again. If you have seen my post of tulip and Nemophilia then you already know that the park is a really beautiful place and a great show of nature is always waiting for you out there! This time we went to explore the red land of Kochia, very cute shrubs!
Luckily the weather was really beautiful that day with azure sky and little chilly wind of early autumn.
This is actually a very rare piece of beauty which you can hardly see in any other parts of Japan.  I had been waiting to see this beauty for long, so I was super excited!
So we arrived there before afternoon and when we entered the park we were totally blown away by the beautiful red carpet created with Kochias. Those of you who do not know Kochia from before, they are roundish shrubs, look like a big egg on earth! They are born green and when the autumn arrives they start changing colors to magenta-red. They are very cute and you will feel like cuddling them but when you touch them they would not feel that soft :p
There were also Cosmos and lovely pampas grass (^-^). We walked around the park in afternoon, had ice creams and light meal, watched a dramatic sunset and returned happily while cherishing the day!
I will be sharing two pictures from the day though I have some hundreds of pictures in my camera but do not have them all in my pc right now. Hope you like them! :D

Beautiful Kochia!
