Miyatoko in the Distance



That mountain is near a village called Miyatoko, which in turn is near one of the Date family graves. Date as in Date Masamune, although the more famous Dates have their own grave sites.

The Mountains of Taiwa


I unfortunately only had a telephoto lens when I was here. These mountains are beautiful.

Only one bite ... I guess this mushroom is poisonous.

Another Nail

I didn't like that I blew out the sky in the first one, so I converted it to a black and white. I should go back and try again.

Scarecrow

I drove on a one-lane dirt road through the forest that went around the backside of the lake, and there were dozens of these scarecrows around. Maybe they should put these guys in the city.

Do mushrooms face towards or away from the sun? If this mushroom were edible (I don't know if it is or not) I could make a fortune off it.

Sometimes I wish I knew which mushrooms were safe and which were not.

Live and Learn

I wasn't going to post another Taiwa picture, but this one caught my eye. I wish I had gotten lower so the tree would be silhouetted against the sky. Live and learn.

I had to do some dodging to get the sign to show on this one.
