1000 words

flowers in Becki's hair
i wish i knew their name... (can anyone help me out?)



On top of the WORLD!!

er... well, uh... Kimimachizaka...
close enough grins



AKATOMBO

New Japanese word. It means red dragonfly (aka - red, tombo - dragonfly). They are my favorite bugs... bug isn't a noble enough word to categorize them. They're all over the place here, and I periodically hold my finger up in the air to try and get one to land on it (they're much braver than the dragonflies in the US).
There's a folk song about dragonflies - called Akatombo, in fact - that I REALLY want to learn. I've heard it a couple times and it's beautiful.


sorry for all the pictures (kind of... not really, but sorry)...
but a picture really is worth a thousand words
and today's culture is driven in many ways by images
so, here's to jumping on the visual bandwagon in a small, entirely innocent and most defintely beneficial way (so all of you can see a little of "my world")
it's a way for me to keep connecting to you from my end
