sunday once more

and why were my eggs cold this morning for breakfast? and where is a great spot for an ohanami (flower, cherry blossom viewing) picnic? and are there still cherry blossoms blooming?
did it rain early this morning? will it be raining tomorrow.
all of the answers are in the following photos. the one about the eggs will need some explaining.
and you will have to check back tomorrow to see if it rained. (probably yes).

yesterday once more

yesterday`s goals were simple: go for a walk in the rain. take some photos of rain drops. and cherry blossoms. to get a good view of the mountains with the fog. and of course, not to lose my camera. or get it too wet. i think all my little goals were reached. and the camera still seems to be working. actually, yesterday`s blog photos were taken with the Casio compact camera. here are some taken with the Canon dslr.

from the 5th floor of the Aeon (formerly Carrefour) parking lot.

and so it ends

and now the "it" refers to this long rainy cold tuesday. there were some highs and lows but all and all a good day ending well past midnite as i finally finished working on my work schedule for May. and hopefully my good friend Mike will be able to input my "bids" into our work website which unfortunately i can access from here. no photos of cherry blossoms in the rain. maybe tomorrow as it supposed to be raining all day again.

here are a few photos from this rainy day:

more raindrops than leaves on the momiji (maple) in the front garden

waiting outside the ginko (bank)

waiting outside Server (drugstore)

warm and delicious soba for lunch


rainy tuesday errands

a mini raindrop

any guesses as to what this is?

thanks (again) Mike

no rain . . . no raindrops

i did venture out. and i did get rained on. twice. i think the sun will return tomorrow. hopefully i will have my "bids" for March done.

Storm Watch 2010 (cont.)

drops from a winter's storm (not sure if you can see it but there are reflections of drops inside the drops)

raindrops on daffodil (and there is another drop within a drop)

15 seconds of today's rain storm and yes, this is where i took all the daffodils in the rain photos.

Storm Watch 2010

12:22 pm during the first of several rain storms

gym/storm/pink umbrella/blue sky/lounge fm/nap

about an hour ago, i thought it would never stop raining but before i could update my blog, the sun and blue sky returned. it was raining so hard and we even had some thunder and lightning which is rare. but, i think the rain will return as shown here in my weather "widget". . .

rain dropped

after the storm (until tomorrow)

i have been told the heavy rain will return tomorrow. here are a few photos i took within a couple of hours after returning from the gym and after drying off and after lunch. of course, i went out in search of rain drops.

the blue sky returned

snow bells but they remind me of suzuran (lily of the valley)
