(A pretty set of purple ones, ne)
(From an intersection near my place, of the yellow flowers and looming Narita-san)
(Late afternoon spring tulip)
(Dare I call this a marigold? I have no idea)
(Narita-san and the sunset pose with Urayama Park's cherry blossoms or sakura, 桜 )
(Praju and Shri pose too)
(Ruining a perfectly good picture)-----------------CHANGE OF PACE--------------------
(Seder for... 15! In my apartment for the first night of Pesach)
(Cooking up a storm for the second seder... for 9!)
(Hirosuke's wonderful photography captures the essence of the holiday)
(Making it a Japanese seder by saying, "Kampai" instead of "Amen." )
More Japanese-style: WASABI for the Moror!!! Hot damn... no joke!)
(Feast, more Japanese-style: CHOPSTICKS and SUSHI. The cucumber sushi is the spring "greens" and dipping them in soy sauce is like the salt water. This night we dipped twice alright... and that was just for the Karpas ritual!)-------------------------CHANGE OF PACE--------------
("Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the sign....")
(Eric poses with the volcano at Kuju-san, 久住山 )
(It was really windy at the summit... not a bad day after below freezing temps at night! Eric and I on the top of Kuju-san, 久住山 , 1787m)
(A close-up on the vent! What a smell of sulfur dioxide!)
(Onwards, to MORDOR. Just kidding, it's only Yufu-dake, 由布岳 ... Notice the twin peaks in the distance. Haven't been there... yet!)
(We bagged this peak too, at 1780m)
(And this one... the tallest in KYUSHU, 九州 , the western island! Standing at 1791m on the top of Naka-dake, 中岳). As high as I can get these days...
