Japanese sweets made from white beans into a sweet paste and colored to make seasonal tea sweets.

This imitates a chrysanthemum flower.

I had some luck on this trip with the quick moving Japanese White-eye. I saw them very frequently just like the Northern Cardinals. They can be frustrating to shoot like Warblers here. I had good success with them finally! Click for large view :)

I don't take enough photos of our fish.

This beautiful tree is in my neighborhood, so you can get some lovely shots while walking around. I am partial to red in the landscape.

"The Shirakawa River (白川, Shirakawa) is a river in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The river originates in the foothills of Mount Hiei on the outskirts of Kyoto, through the Geisha district of Gion and eventually ends up in the Kamo River.

Its name, which means "white river" in Japanese, probably refers to the white coloured sand and gravel that it carries from the hills east of Kyoto.

Many ochaya (geisha houses) and restaurants line the banks of the Shirakawa as it passes through the geisha district of Gion, in Kyoto."

「HANA・BIYORI」に行ってきました。

本当は「よみうりランド」のイルミネーションに行くつもりでした。ところが仕事が出来る喜びに満ちた無料送迎バスの運転手さんの巧みなお誘いで急遽目的地を変更しました。運転手さんの言葉通り和のテイストをモティーフにした「HANA・BIYORI」は期待以上でした。

I went to "HANA BIYORI".

Actually, I was planning to go to shoot the illuminations of "Yomiuri Land".However, due to the skillful invitation of the free shuttle bus driver, I suddenly changed my destination. He was full of joy to work.As the driver said, "HANA BIYORI" with a Japanese taste as a motif exceeded expectations.

Chaenomeles Japonica

Chaenomeles japonica, called the Japanese quince or Maule's quince, is a species of flowering quince that is native to Japan. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that is commonly cultivated. It is shorter than another commonly cultivated species C. speciosa, growing to only about 1 m in height. It is best known for its colorful spring flowers of red, white, pink or multi.

A night time panorana of Tokyo Bay with the Odaiba Statue of Liberty in the foreground and the Rainbow Suspension Bridge behind. The Rainbow Bridge is illuminated with glowing lights, sometimes in rainbow colours, for special holidays and events.

The Statue of Liberty stands roughly 40 feet tall, about 1/7th the size of its New York counterpart. Originally erected temporarily from 1998-1999 to pay tribute to Japan’s ties with France, the statue was returned permanently in 2000 due to its popularity.

As if one Statue of Liberty replica was not enough, Japan has at least a couple more scattered about the country. I stitched five shots together to create this panoramic view.
