❤ awesomeness and beauty x 1000
Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes Mr. Kuroki, a retired Japanese dairy farmer living with his wife in Shintomi Town in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. When his beloved wife suddenly lost her vision to diabetes at the age of 52, he decided to create a flower garden so vast that Mrs. Kurokai would be able to enjoy them by their fragrant scent alone.
When Mrs. Kuroki lost her eyesight she was heartbroken that she and her husband would not get to take their long-anticipated retirement trip around Japan. Mr. Kuroki couldn’t bear to see his wife so unhappy and withdrawing from life, so he spent two years clear and preparing their land and then planting and nurturing a vast garden of pink shibazakura flowers, also known as moss phlox, that grew to encircle the couple’s home.
Now their home is surrounded by a vibrant sea of pink flowers and up to 7,000 people visit the Kuroki home each year from March to April in order to experience the beauty of the garden that also represents an inspiring love story. And, most importantly, Mrs. Kuroki is smiling.

♥ the true love of Yasuko and Toshiyuki Kuroki
I bet this is what a bee’s perspective is like.
the video is so amazing
Flower fields are such a wonderful place to spend an entire day or stumble upon happenstance or purposely get lost in. The colors are breathtaking, the rows are perfectly manicured and it feels like it totally shouldn’t exist. Here is drone footage of the Keukenhof Gardens in The Netherlands.

The Hitachi Seaside Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the planet: A place where millions of flowers grow every year in the most amazing displays of colors imaginable. Here you can see about 4.5 million baby-blue nemophilas blossoming in April—but there's more, much more.
