It was a nice sunny day today so a went a little out of my way on my jog and took in the sights in the Ezuko area. If you live in Kumamoto and haven’t gone to Ezuko on a nice day to enjoy the natural surroundings, I really recommend that you give it a try. It’s just south (or southeast?) of Suizenji and fed by the same spring water. In fact, Ezuko is made up of the clear spring water that flows from Suizenji – it’s the same water system. Today I took a few moments to watch this heron hunt. She didn’t catch anything but I enjoyed the little dances she did and appreciated her willingness to let me observe nearby.
