Let the Sunshine in


I took this photo last Monday, April 13th. We had just arrived back in the city after walking for hours looking at the Cherry Blossoms. We are standing in front of a Construction Site Barrier with different designs on it. The kanji says "Sendai castle." There is no actual castle in Sendai as it was destroyed mostly by earthquakes and fires.

The rainy season seems to be here already, so I am singing "Let the Sunshine In," hoping Mother Nature might heed my call. In the meantime, the memory of that sunny, spring Monday keeps me content.

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
