November

More than half of the November has past

I realized that only 5 weeks are left in this year

The colder it gets the more swans arrive in this pond 

Lead water
Water looked really heavy on Saturday evening

Maple leaves wrapping around the branch 

It was 4:30 but sun has already left
Some of the swans were resting on the shore 

Alone
Most of the swan comes from Siberia with family or mate
But this swan was swimming alone and making a big beautiful wave pattern

Stereo image of leaves
Maybe because leaves fell down really softly, I feel these leaves are creating stereo structure

This picture was taken after 10 second at the same place of the upper photo
Light can change a picture dramatically

Shinto wedding
It is not common to hold a wedding in the shrine in Japan anymore
Most of the people wear western style wedding dress

7/5/3
November 15th, 7, 5 and 3 year old kids celebrate and wish for their good health
So quite a few family were coming to the shrine

A woman was selling toys for 7/5/3 event









 Since my camera is not working most of the time
frequency of upload will be decreased

I will try not to make this "photo stack" to "photo stuck"


sorry
