Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

Summer for me is the time when many of my habits change, winter recipes are packed away while I search for new summer eats to enjoy. The late spring air that is beginning to warm up means a change in clothes, pulling out the shorts and the sandals and enjoying the feeling of the warm sun on my pasty white legs. The summer season in Tokyo can be brutal when you pack together all these people with high-rises and concrete jungles and crowded trains, but all can be forgotten when the air conditioner on the train blows over you for a few seconds of elation.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands

While I was browsing through my photos for some hands to use in this weeks photo challenge I began to notice that most of the living people`s hands in my photos are either just out in front of them or at the sides, the people not really knowing what to do with them. Then on the other hand, pun totally intended, the rest of the hand images are displaying a form of sign language that would not be overly appropriate for this weeks challenge, ahem. Luckily for me I have taken a number of photos of statues that feature hands, hope you enjoy my choices for this week.

Guam Trip: Day Two

Everything has been great so far! It’s sunny and hot, but the humidity hasn’t been too bad. Have had these on and off showers throughout today, you can see the rain coming right across the bay towards you.

Today is Vernal Equinox Day and it’s a holiday over here in Japan, which means that everywhere is going to be insanely busy.

Guam Trip: Day One

Day One; Narita Airport

Finally I am getting to vacation outside of Japan, this vacation took five years of waiting; that’s not true, I was too lazy and picky to do this before. I am off to Guam for the next FIVE days and am really looking forward to relaxing and swimming and of course getting one or two photos along the way.
