On a Limb

I need to carry my right angle finder more than I do. I go lucky with this one.

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

The sun coming through a sakura.

Mt Izumi at 6:00

It won't be long until all the snow is gone.

Aoba Shrine Construction

Aoba Shrine is undergoing some front step construction right now. It looks a lot different without the iconic torii.

Passing Train

I only had time for one train shot this time.

What Should Have Been

I cannot believe I cut this off.

Beauty

Does beauty need non-beauty to be beautiful?

Black Ladybug

This is called a chilocorus stigma and is from North America. I wonder who brought this over.

Green Grass

The grass is starting to become green again. It is a welcome sight.

End of the Rainbow

The end of the rainbow happened to be at a junior high.

Rainbow Over Izumigatake

A rainbow landing in the valley in front of Mt. Izumi.

Morning Light

The only reason I am posting this is because of the light bouncing off that house.

Pan

The boy on Jozenji Street.

Pamphleteer

This guy was passing out pamphlets for his curry restaurant on the 2nd floor.
