In spring butterflies dancing around the lake could really perform the graceful trick of the butterflies and the flowers. There you were lucky to enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the lake flow gently, and listen to the chirps of birds that is the most beautiful and wonderful emissary in universe.



A group of herons flapped slowly off across the lake and migrated together. The harmonious beauty of the landscape will bring you to an also real and unreal world.
