Christmas Color



These were taken at the Tennoji Park in Osaka today. These birds and animals look more beautiful at night since they shine by the light illumination.

Skywatch Friday


Today is winter solstice. Today's sunrise time is 7:02 and sunset time is 16:52 in Osaka. In Japan, there is a traditional custom to eat pumpkin and take a yuzu-bath on the winter solstice. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus and we put several citruses in the bath to enjoy the good smell.

Fallen Leaves


Winter wind blew maple leaves to the pond. I love fallen leaves, too.

No more walk

This is part of Thursday Challenge. This week's theme is "Peaceful."
My grandson gave up walking now and my husband is holding him with his arm. This walkway is lined with cherry trees.

Countless color variation I found in the garden of the Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto last week.
