In the Middle

The grass in the middle.

Rat in the Road

On the first day I came to Tokyo I was walking to my hotel in Ueno, and on the sidewalk I saw a dead rat. After a night of karaoke, on the subway platform I saw another dead one.

All these years and half the island away, I was walking through my neighborhood and I saw this on my way to work.

On a Sunday Afternoon

I took time out before my calligraphy lesson to take a look at the cherry blossoms near Teraoka. The trees did not look very good, but up close, blossoms are blossoms.

Bunching

Another shot of the cherry blossom blooms up close.

Reach

The cherry blossoms bunching together in the afternoon.

In the Shadows

With a background shadow and back lighting, it can make flowers look like they glow.

Shining Star
