Koshien, Gangara and Aki



you have to see yesterday`s Koko-Yakyu Final with it`s made-for-television ending! and eventhough i went to the Gangara Matsuri in Ikeda, i neither saw any fire nor heard any "gangara". but, i did hear some wonderful live music on the big stage at the Ikeda elementary school `playground`. and took many colorful natsu matsuri (summer festival) photos. that was yesterday and it is now today. その時はその時です。here is an early aki (autumn) photo i took this morning. it was actually a little cool last night which is more than welcome... it is warm again today and the semi are still singing

good morning Momiji-san . . . 早く来て下さい。
