Harvesting rice in Kayama, Odawara, Japan

The flame may die, but embers at the heart still burn.
何年もくすぶり続けた。

Hiding among the reflections, a master craftsman's handiwork.

Smoldering rice stalks,
Smoke billowing, windless day,
One stem, countless pods.

Steady hum of gears, blades, steel against steel.
Delicate grains of rice will feed the family.

Mary-chan Mini Pin

I took Mary-chan for an evening walk along the river bank on a warm November evening. Being so small, I had to get down on the ground to get pictures at her eye level.
