Kamakura from the water. Hopefully, I'll get a panorama one of these days, but until I figure that out, here's a little slice of the coast.
Photo of the Day: Gone Fishing
A beautiful blue-sky day for fishing. Getting the boat in and out is no easy feat! It helps when the sea is flat as a pancake.
Photo a Day: Sports Day
The second Monday in October is Sports Day in Japan. It's a national holiday, and boy, were people out doing lots of sports in Kamakura. The weather was perfect!
Photo of the Day: Big Jelly
Apparently, the water around our beach is full of these big (well, big for me) guys, but the other day, while SUP-ing, I finally saw one for the first time. Gotta say, I was a little freaked out.
Photo of the Day: Oya-ko SUP
The other day, Kaede came with me out on the paddleboard. "Oya" means "parent", and "ko" means "child", so, parent-child paddleboarding.
Photo of the Day: Blue Paddleboarding
The ocean around Yuigahama Beach is at its best in fall and spring. Beautiful blue sky, beautiful blue seas.
Photo of the Day: Furin (Wind Chimes)
It's not really furin season anymore, but there was a display at Kowaki-en Hotel in Hakone the other day, and it was all kinds of pretty. Kaede was pretty impressed, too.
Photo of the Day: Beach Gazing
It's that time of year again! It's actually cool enough to go to the beach and have a play—without burning or getting heatstroke. We're thoroughly enjoying it.
Photo of the Day: Unknown Shrine
This little shrine was without English-language plaque, so I'm not sure what it's called, but it was out the west side of Kamakura Station and had two rather fabulous trees.
Photo of the Day: Cosmos
Japan loves its seasonal flowers, and one of the big ones for autumn is cosmos. So pretty.
