6 September 2007 Bounty of Nature in Japan

One of the nice things about our new place is a sizeable park very close by. Took a walk there last weekend with the family and shot some of the glories of Japanese nature.

This dragonfly Genbo thought was “scary”.

You don’t see it as much in urban areas, but out in the countryside you often see abandoned cars rusting away in the middle of fields. Come to think of it, this happened much more in Kyushu than it does anywhere around here. It costs money to dispose of old automobiles, so people will just drive their old car out into the middle of a field and leave it there, where it remains basically forever, as far as I can tell. Here we have an example this exemplary behavior in the middle of the neighborhood park.
