Back in March, I posted these photos of a reservoir in Ayashi, not too far from our house. It was beautiful in the ice and snow, but I think it's even more lovely now there's greenery everywhere! We stopped at a sushi restaurant for lunch on the way, then spent a couple of hours wandering all the way round the reservoir, taking some photos and enjoying the nice weather.

View was a lot hazier, but also a lot greener than in March
Lovely and peaceful
Row of fishermen. It looks very sociable...
...but I think I'd prefer the solitude of these two.
I think these are Japanese Serow, we came across the two of them on the path, and they obligingly stayed for a couple of photos, before running away and letting us safely continue!

Whenever I give John the camera, I end up with random photos of strange bugs.
Fishermen! :D Those guys are clearly not doing fly fishing. Can't be social doing fly fishing - you need to much space to fling that line all the way to outer space and beyond. :p
ReplyDeleteYup, summer in Japan is very hazy. When it gets really hot in Tokyo, it looks as if the sky is in a bad mood, scowling and sulking. (I know I am ... )
Cute bug and cute goat thingie. ^^
Want to know what hazy is? The bad kind? Come over. ;p
DeleteI thought of you and the Hero when I was saw them all fishing. I don't think they were very dedicated though...true fishermen glare at you if you so much as sniff, these ones were continually chatting and laughing!
DeleteI wish the haziness would stop. I miss my favourite mountain...I've only had occasional glimpses of it since May.
I liked the goat...can live without the bugs!
Blogger is playing tricks with the comment system again?
ReplyDeleteI thought I posted another comment. o.O
Anyways, wish I was there too!
Stupid blogger!
DeleteIf only they invent a teleporter, hey? Then you could come and enjoy my peace and quiet, and I could come and enjoy your haze and food!
Agree, lovely and peaceful. :)
ReplyDeleteHello, and thanks for commenting ^-^
DeleteIt was so nice. I don't always love living in the countryside, but it definitely has its good points!
