Pleasant family makes me a big smile.

Binoculars and driving, recreation

1. Holiday Drive

Binoculars are indispensable in holiday offhand driving.

In a holiday morning, when you go for a drive on a sudden impulse, never forget your binoculars.
Put your binoculars within close reach, open all the windows and coltishly go to a park, the mountains, a river or the sea.
Open a chair in an open space and sit in the sun with your family, and read books as you like.
It is good to see children scampering around from a distance. You need binoculars when you are filled with a deep emotional feeling such as “They became so big while I have not noticed.” “She became big enough to take care of her little brother.” It must be this time when you feel supreme happiness realizing healthy families are the happiest thing.

2. Special Weekend

Overnight auto camp.

Auto camp offers you a simple and convenient joy of outdoor life. It makes the family ties stronger.
Your entire family builds a tent, makes a stove with stones and bricks and makes fire with gathered branches.
You daringly enjoy time in the outdoors without having useful tools.
The smell and taste of curry and rice during such an event will last long in your mind. You can enjoy the starlit sky at night and rising of the sun in the morning. Of course binoculars are useful to enjoy the wild birds as they wake up.
With binoculars the joy of overnight auto camp is doubled.

3. Zoos, Gardens, Amusement Park

Nowadays a zoo rents binoculars.

To watch the animals and birds in as natural of a setting as possible is the recent trend of a zoo. Therefore binoculars are imperative to observe the animals and birds that are likely behind the bushes or rocks. It makes sense that more and more zoos rent binoculars.
Of course you can enjoy hippos gape and their big nasal cavity, which is always in water. You can see lion cubs messing around, monkey boss looking contemptuously around and giraffes chomping on the leaves of high tree. If you carry binoculars, you can enjoy scenes which you have never noticed before.
You can enjoy botanic gardens as well. You can watch the pretty little flowers and brilliant colors of tropical flora close at hand with binoculars.

4. & Other

Binoculars for athletic festivals, school plays and rollout.

You need a camera and a video for athletic festivals, school plays and rollout. Why don’t you try binoculars as well? You can give a rousing cheer, “Take it easy!”, to your child who has an anxious face waiting in the wings. You can cheer for your child when he falls down, stands up and runs forward. You can say to yourself “You did well.” when you see your child break the finishing tape. Binoculars must give you different emotions from pictures or a video.

Mountain cherry blossoms remaining aloof from others.

I have met a person who looked at alone standing cherry blossoms on the mountainside in a valley of Okutama for 2 hours with binoculars. It was surrounded by green cedars. Among the deep green were the pale pink of the cherry blossoms. The giant tree of cherry blossoms stood in sublime isolation. No one can approach due to the precipitous mountains. He stopped his car and kept still, watching the tree. He plucked at the heart strings.
He watched a sublime cherry tree with binoculars feeling a kind of happiness of life.

To find the cause of traffic jam.

I will introduce a few of least expected usage of binoculars. Haven’t you faced a sudden jam-up on a free way? Wouldn’t you like to know the cause? Why don’t you look forward and decide what should you do? Which should you do, getting off the free way or waiting for the freedom from the jam? If you do not have a car navigation system, you can ask the person in the passenger’s seat to look at the forward sign from a distance.
The other is using binoculars for fishing. It is said that fishing starts from the spatula needle and ends with the spatula needle. The subtle movement of dobber has the whip hand in gibel fishing with the spatula needle. Especially in winter, you should not pass over the delicate movement of the dobber. Binoculars. Compact type binoculars of at the utmost 3 magnifications are must.

Laziness on a wall.

There is a person whose hobby is looking at a cat on a roof or wall from veranda with binoculars on holidays. The funniest way is lying flat like a monorail on the wall. When it is fast asleep and about to fall down, it gets into a flurry. He enjoys that moment the most.
Isn’t it a rich way to see a cat with binoculars all day long on a beach bed?
