Happou-ike is a small pond located just beside the Happoone ridge. The area has an alpine landscape unusual at a relatively low altitude of 2,100 m due to soil and climatic conditions. It becomes a blooming grassland in spring and summer.
The shrub in front is Haimatsu or Siberian dwarf pine that is usually found above the forest limit.

Another shot of the forgotten Notch,MO. post office run by the venerable Uncle Ike,aka Levi Morrill till 1926.He was immortalized in the classic novel "The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Wright. It is listed on the National register of historic places, but has been abandoned....
"The Shepherd of the Hills" was later made into a popular movie in 1941 starring John Wayne and directed by Harry Hathaway. They would team up again for the classic "True Grit" many years later.

Friday afternoon just watching the sky and beginning to feel the gusts of Ike's outer bands, the humming birds were just hitting the feeder hard. One little male Ruby Throated Hummingbird had to be the dominant bird and persisted in running off any that would let him. My feeder must have been the only one left outside and as long as I was out, the feeder stayed. Once I removed it I guess the little birds went for cover because they were out waiting for me on Saturday afternoon. So I figured this little guy was as big a bully as Ike.
Honen-ike Dam is a multiple-arch dam in the Sanuki Mountain range at Kan'onji, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The reservoir it creates is used for irrigation. Construction began in 1926 and was completed in 1930. The dam is 32 m high and has a crest length of 158 m. It is supported by six arched buttresses. Some renovation work has been needed to control leakage; special care has been taken due to its status as a cultural asset.
The dam has been designated an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese Ministry of Culture.
No description necessary - this is one of those "wow" moments that we seem to have more often than not.
