The grey just isn't stopping around here. And on top of it all, the U.S. is leading Japan 4-0. Oh, what a world! Gambare, Nippon!
Photo of the Day: Forest Tunnel
The path up to the Kamakura Museum of Literature winds along under towering trees. At one point, it ducks under an old stone tunnel before continuing its slow climb up to the main building and gardens.
Photo of the Day: Windsurfing Lesson
Hisashi decided that surfing and SUP-ing weren't enough—he had to give windsurfing a try. There are a number of water-sport schools along Yuigahama Beach, but Hisashi had his eye on one instructor in particular, a fellow he'd watched teach others and thought seemed good. So, he headed over to Poerava Windsurfing and met with instructor … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Windsurfing Lesson
Photo of the Day: Dreaming of the Sun
Rain, rain, go away... A second day of the rainy season living up to its name, with nothing but grey skies and more rain in the forecast. *sigh* It's going to be a damp, steamy train ride to work today.

Well, the rainy season is in full swing today—it's been pouring all morning. So, I thought umbrellas would be a good choice for the day.

A fuzzy shot of our sweet little train. The entire Enoden Line, from Kamakura to Fujisawa, only takes about 35 or 40 minutes. And it wouldn't take nearly as long if it didn't snake through so many backyards, with barely a foot's clearance (or so it seems) between train and shrubbery. At one point, it … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Kamakura to Fujisawa
Photo of the Day: Bubble Inn
While blowing bubbles on the deck with Kaede, I noticed that our inn was reflected quite colourfully in the orbs of soap. It was harder than I thought to catch it with my iPad, but I did get a few so-so shots.
Photo of the Day: Spokes
A little black and white for a Sunday morning. This is a lotus leaf from Kosoku-ji. I really must get down to Hachimangu to see how its lotus are coming along.

Like I said, everywhere I go, this is what I see.
