Waiting

A utility truck waits for some action.

In the Clear

A clear spring morning.

Setting the Field

Getting the field ready for this year's crop.

Bird on a Branch

This is one of the first birds I have seen around this year.

High Key Blooms

I would like to have the time to go in and take out the branch behind the flowers.

Backlighting

I wish I could have given this more justice. The fuzz on the buds were all lit up in the evening sun.

Plum Blossoms in the 'Hood

At this point in the winter/spring transition, I was interested in anything I could see.

First Sakura of the Year

The first of the year.

Basking in the Sun

Just About

These magnolias are about to bloom.

One Good Thing About The Sand

This was taken through my window the other evening. If you look closely, you can see the shadows of the wires that run through the window.

Daisy May

I really like taking pictures of flowers from the ground. But, it is hard to get the backgrounds right.

Red Dusk

A read sunset in Sendai.

Watching

Watching the Aoba Matsuri from afar.

Yellow Sand Sunset

The yellow sands coming from China do make for some nice sunsets. I wish the neighbor's house wasn't in the way though.

Butterfly

I got lucky with this one. I only had an 85 manual focus lens with me.

Caterpillars and Barbwire

The barbwire makes a great hiding spot for these caterpillars. They blend right in.

Isolated

I tried to isolate this sakura as best as I could. I have another shot of a branch from this tree with a green background, but as distracting as it may be, I liked this one better so the other one gets shelved. This was an awesome day with the sakura blowing around creating a sakura fubuki 桜吹雪.

This was taken at the Tohoku University Kawauchi Campus.

All the Young Dudes

I wonder where they are going.

Feed the Goat

I think that would be a good title for a website/blog.
