This weekend, I discovered the area around the prefectural art museum. There’s a sort of tree garden on a hill, littered with statues.
There was a light drizzle of rain, and the air was heavy with the smell of pine trees.
Recently, the weather has turned relatively warm. Spring is in the air, and my sneezes have announced its arrival.
(Some of these photos come across as too moody.)
This is my favorite sign in town.
I like it even though it’s for a seedy gambling place. (Or maybe that’s a part of its charm!)
Oh, summer nights.
How I miss you!
(I’m sure I won’t be quite so enthusiast in July, but for now…)
I was soaking some clams for my dinner, and a couple of them tried to escape!
Man, oh man, were they tasty!
This weekend, I spent some time wandering around Yui-cho.
Yui was a station on the Tokaido Road and is famous for sakura-ebi.
That’s about it.
The town isn’t very big. One of its two elementary schools only has 48 children.

An alley.
The spillways go directly into the sea.
A sakura-ebi shop.
A hill above a mikan grove.
You could feel a cool sea breeze from up here.
You can also see the modern Tokaido Expressway.
Sometimes I forget that I live near the ocean, because I don’t necessarily see it everyday.

Originally from rural Kentucky, I live in central Japan in the shadow of Mt. Fuji.
I enjoy the artsy-fartsy, as well as film and digital photography.
My REAL hobbies include eating, and generally making a nuance of myself.
