Midaregami

Although I missed the bulk of the sakura, the countryside is still gorgeous in the springtime. Although the weather’s returned to its dim, oppressive routine of clouds and heavy rain, we had a run of warm weather. Shirt-sleeve weather. Early summer-like weather, but for the feeling of spring that hung light in the air.

I went for a walk and took some pictures. Although I’ve done a little bit of color-correction on them, they still don’t convey the vivid, living green that dominates the hills and neighborhoods. When the sun shines on that green, you can feel the hum as the metabolic processes of everything around you start to spin up. It’s nothing like the desert.

Sakura

Fifty feet from my house, but especially pretty today.

Amazing the places you discover when you walk somewhere new.

A valley road, with my town below.

I live in a beautiful place. I need to get out into it more often.
