Staring off into the distance is a favourite pastime of mine, and pretty much everyone who comes to the beach, it seems. Another favourite pastime of beach goers—well, locals at least—is digging for various creatures. The fellow in the background was digging for hamaguri clams. The ones near shore are small, and are nice in … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Wistful Dreaming
Photo of the Day: Sea Urchin Delight
These little guys are as nasty as they look—if you're unfortunate enough to step on one. Those prickles slice right into feet and break, so even if you manage to ease the sliver out, there will probably be little bits left that take forever to clear out and heal. Not pleasant. Luckily, they stick to … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Sea Urchin Delight

Public transportation upholstery choices don't usually make me smile, but the Enoden Line's cute seat covers are the exception. Tiny trains for a tiny train.
