Can you see it? The kites were having a field day swooping down on unsuspecting visitors and stealing their lunches at the festival last Sunday. One snatched a kebab from someone sitting behind us, but couldn't hold on while zooming sharply up to avoid collision. The kebab slammed into Kaede's back, causing much surprise. We … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Find the Kite

A small tea ceremony booth seen through the tent screen during break time. With so much to do, we didn't have time to wait for them to start. Next time!

It's festival season in Kamakura, with little goings-on happening all over the place. This past Sunday at the park by Yuigahama Beach, there were heaps of booths with activities, games, presentations, and, of course, food. One booth had a box of old-school toys in it, including some koma spinning tops. To play, you wrap a … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Helping Hands

Not much to explain here, just water striders on lily pads. That is all.

Lily pads in a pond at Hasedera. Lily pads just make me happy.
Photo of the Day: Misty Morning
The ocean off Yuigahama Beach and the condominiums across the bay in Zushi were shrouded in fog this morning. Even after 8am, things were misty.
Photo of the Day: More Fish
More fishies, for no other reason than I like them. Hasedera fish pond.
Photo of the Day: Incense
These are little incense sticks stuck in ash, though they sort of look like candles on a grey birthday cake. Waving the smoke over your body is supposed to help heal it. So, if you had a bad shoulder, you would wave it over your shoulder. If you thought you could go for a better … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Incense
