No, really. In my continuing adventures of getting out and about on Sundays, I decided I might as well begin at the beginning, as it were. Right at the centre of Tokyo. Well, more or less. I decided to go to the grounds surrounding the Imperial Palace. Now the grounds are quite large and I wasn't planning to cover it all, just the section closest to the nearest station on my closest subway line.
It is known as the Hanzomon gate and of course we couldn't get anywhere near it but...

Butterflies. I was quite taken by the butterflies flying around.
 |
| And then, along came... |
 |
| ...the butterflies |
 |
| And they flew... |
 |
| And landed |
 |
| And headed off again |
 |
| And there were dragonflies |
 |
| The walk home |
Lots of exercise, lots of pics. Lots of interesting things to see. Can't wait until next Sunday.
