http://inakalife-yama.blogspot.com/2015/06/sometimes-smaller-is-better.html
Some images of life in the Japanese countryside. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Sometimes smaller is better. Late winter in Vermont. Way off the beaten path in Yabu. It's been the driest spring I can remember. Feels like a different country. Not far from home, trying to find an elusive 8th century. A different local falls. Yamabiru, ヤマビル- land leech. A little rain and warmth. And they're on to you. Got through my big OR gaiters. Dem belly full but me hungry. Meiji era Fudoumyou san. In town and nearby. We've be...

Some images of life in the Japanese countryside. Saturday, January 31, 2015. I was caretaker of this Shinto shrine for over a decade, now I miss it. A functional charcoal kiln deep in the woods. Rarer than a thatched roof these days. A silver coin from 1912 recovered from a kiln. Great snowpack this year. Night skiing deserves a quiet night. Largest blue to date. A rock seemingly carried upwards 3 meters. By a large vine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stitch on monkey patrol. Out of the Blue. Our latitude ...

http://inakalife-yama.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Some images of life in the Japanese countryside. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Dash for the cache. The tree hugger in its element. Going up the round I found this large strange mass. At first I thought it was roadkill. The larger female underneath. Masses of eggs on a male with the female barely visible. Still some snow lingering. High , dry, and undisturbed. I removed the most expensive items. And left behind the shelter, a cooking pot, some fuel and candles. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dash for the cache.
