A Kangaroo in Japan

I looked twice when this bus went passed.  Yes, it is a kangaroo and yes, it does have a  joey in its pouch and no, there were no Australians on board.

Reflections - The ancient and the modern

Reflections of modern architecture on the water of the moat of the Imperial Palace.

Chestnut Festival

I felt like I was in Stanley while wandering the food market last weekend at the Red Spider Lily festival.  Chestnuts grow in the area too and this fellow was busy roasting them.

This weekend there is a chestnut festival as well as the Red Spider Lily festival. Stanley folk should plan a visit for mid-September 2020!

Fashions in the Fields

This couple out for an afternoon of flower viewing and strolling amazed me! Its not the best angle, but a truly remarkable ensemble. How do you walk in those shoes?  Is this her Sunday best?

Red Spider Lillies

How many photos of red spider lilies is too many photos of red spider lilies?  Not too sure, but I did tke a lot of photos.  Love the colour and the texture of the moss on the tree in the backgound.

Its not just Cherry Blossom

On Sunday I left Tokyo by train for the "Red Spider Lily Festival" at Kinchakuda.  It was beautiful. A blanket of colour across a small area crowded with visitors.  The Japanese love seasonal plant colour!

Lines, Reflection and a Taxi

You may be able to call it an obsession now! The same building, but with a new London inspired black Tokyo cab in the foreground.
