Cormorant, Roadside tree and Sweets;

*Cormorant etc. from local river*

In the middle of last month, in the usual local river, I've found two ｔypes of cormorant. One has bigger size and white line from head through neck. The other is rather small compared to the one with white head line.

They all seemed to be having quite relaxing time together♪

Although the pictures are blurry, I wished to add the flying Egret (^^;)

*Roadside tree and Dandelion*

They are the cherry-trees without blossoms from early this month.  Alongside the same river I found birds in the pictures above.  After the blossom, we can enjoy beautiful spring green leaves, they all have fallen off now.  I hope they can be considered 'Fence' with green color. 

*Our favorite way of eating Strawberry*

My husband likes to eat them with on top of the Yogurt. My favorite way is putting them on  pudding.  Pour some amount of condensed milk makes them tastier.

I wished to post this topic before season is over :-)

I wish you'll have or having a wonderful new week♪

My next post will be a week later.

Having a bit busy golden week, but See You Soon;

Another Fall Scene and Japanese Rice Cracker;

        Two places with Autumn atmosphere before winter come close;

  * '来迎寺. Raikouji-temple'  from a few days ago*  

On our way back from visiting my husband's band group member, we happened to pass by this temple. I loved seeing the long stairs at the gate leading to the inside. Fall Foliage must have been wonderful if it was a bit earlier. The last picture is from the inside towards the entrance.

* 'もち吉. Mochikichi'  Rice Cracker Store *

We bought some souvenirs at this store the other day. I loved seeing the decoration and the staff kindly allowed me to take pictures.　

These rice crackers are Japanese favorite snack which goes very well with green tea♪

Ones with sea weed is really delicious

Short Trip to Kansai-area (part2)

*"Sagano, 嵯峨野", "Arashiyama, 嵐山",  in Kyoto *  

 In Sagano;  my first experience to ride "trolley train，torokko-densha トロッコ電車"

Front and back of the train.  I found many foreigners during the trip :-)

   ☆View of the Departure Station and inside of the train☆

☆View of the terminal station and during the ride☆

     In Arashiyama, 嵐山;  View of the 'Togetu-kyo 渡月橋'   kyo (橋) means 'bridge'

    Alongside the river, I found rickshaw store(?) 'jin-riki-sha;  人力車  man-power-car'. 

Coincidentally, there were Soba（そば）-restaurant next to it.   I wished to take the picture 
of the store with the rickshaw (to show my husband p:-) 

＊Beautiful Night Illumination of the Kyoto Tower＊
And view from the tower with Shinkansen next morning ;

    *On second day, we visited "Kyoto Museum of Art"*

I was amazed by the  beautiful building with great architecture.

We visited here to see "Louvre art exhibition"

As the taking pictures were prohibited (just entrance of the room), here is the link of the page you can see the works we saw at the museum. At the entrance there were picture of Johannes Vermeer.

                                                                                      To be continued to the final part3
