Summer Vacation

I went to North Part of Japan (Hokkaido) in my summer vacation 
I recharged my battery by breathing fresh air 
eating good food
and talking with people 



Dog enjoying cool wind 




My dad:  Climbing up the hill, not that hard  





Field of Sun flower 




Blackish lake, Fu-renko: with my sister and dog 




Small festival in the village 





Foggy morning 




A house buried in grasses




Spreading out the kelp: Weed harvesting is popular in nearby sea.
We use them to make soup stocks. 




New born calf: A farmer called me at night to show me a new born baby.
Sadly, she will be sold to a dog food maker in a week.




One night drama: cow giving birth
It goes without saying, but cannot be surprised by the fact that all lactation cows have given birth
Nowadays, one cow can produce 30-60l of milk per day

Work

There are million of jobs in the world 
Maybe every second someone comes up a new idea and starts new business
and someone shuts down the business 
These people make good pictures by doing their job

Calving


In hundred-degree weather a new life was born
It was boy so he will raise as a beef cattle 
and mother will soon start to produce milk 




Mother seemed to use lot's of energy and she couldn't stand up for long time




It is rare that calf and mother can stay in the same pen
Usually they are separated as soon as mother gives birth





Looking at enormous udder



Stand up 





I wish she will stay healthy
