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.

Tulip Magnificence

This is the last of the tulip photos for this year. They have all passed.

Sidewalk Drop

This flower is starting to come to the end of its life cycle.

Caterpillars and Barbwire

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

Home is a Prison

I took this shot because I think it is funny how even on a window like that, in a country as safe as Japan, people will put bars on their windows.

This ain't New York. This isn't even Tokyo.
