Shinto Border


Morning dog walk past a local Shinto Shrine.


Posing for me on a bridge near the shrine.


At the bottom of the stairs leading to the shrine.


At a park near the local shrine.

Dog Shrubbery


Was able to get some nice shots at a local park during an early evening dog walk.


Hiding in the shrubbery at the park.


Come here!


Even moss grows on the nearby hill in the local park.

Adult Teeth


Afternoon dog walk near a nearby high school.


Adobe-colored clay on the side of the hill near a local high school.


She chews on anything she can these days as her adult teeth come in.


Not often I can get her to pose for me with a side view.


I think she was looking at a crow flying over.

Roof Architecture


Spring blossoms in front of neighborhood home.


I love the more traditional Japanese architecture.


Japanese tiles are great for taking pictures. Also, quite resilient during typhoons.


This roofing shows the family seal of the homeowner (orange symbol in middle).

Nose Leaf


We found a new steep stepped trail leading to the top of a nearby hill. 


The hill has a very small grove of trees and bamboo.


She loves her morning walks the most.


Morning sun shining through the bamboo.


Notice the leaf stuck to her nose!


One of my favorite shots! So cute!

Night Kannon


Statue of Kannon in a local cemetery while going for a late-night dog walk.


View from the top of the cemetery looking out towards my neighborhood.

No Pinky


The snow has finally stopped. Enjoying a dog walk in a snowy cemetery.


Turned my back for a second and somebody ate the pinky of my glove!


She really loves the snow!
