She has managed the bookstore for 50 years! After she had graduated from the university, she started this bookstore. Because she liked book. This is a typical bookstore in Japan. Please look at the previous one.
東京の板橋で、50年古本屋をやっている木本書店（本店）のお婆さん。本が大好きで、ジャンルを問わず何でも読むそう。マンガやテレビが嫌いで、本は頭を働かせながら読むから好きだとか。帰り際、「もっと勉強しないけんよ！」と言われた（笑）
One of many large spider webs near the marsh area of a small lake. I succeeded not walking into them....ok, most of the time. :) Always amazed at their beautiful design. Liked having some bokeh behind this one.
Why did this tiny spider build a web with this pattern? Very small (about 1cm across) and horizontal.
This piece started out intending to be 100% humorous with my attempts of trying to be "more classy" with my cursing but both artist Louise Bourgeois and my mother came to mind (her middle name being Louise) whilst stitching. While this piece it still funny to me, it also makes me think of mothers, mending and the therapeutic effect of stitching.
Original embroidery with embroidery floss and beads on gold metallic blend fabric measuring approximately 10.5x12".
You can see more detailed photos on my website- photos don't do justice to the shimmery gold fabric.

I've been trying to get a web for ages and they are so difficult to get the light just right against the background. I am at last happy(ish) with this one!
Colorful rhythms in the breeze
Web strands shot during wind movement and under bright conditions provide an optical spectrum feast, due to waves of light being scattered by the silk - diffraction - speed of the shutter, and quantity of softness from a softly focused lens, i.e. not focused sharply on the web threads at any given moment.
Much of what I capture is by trial and error and a good deal of luck, not judgement, as I react spontaneously to these intriguing opportunities. The light however, has to be right.
