Hi, all. I've been off for a while.
Today I have something to post, some snow shots.

Some days ago I had snow, which is quite rare here in Kamakura.
It began snowing at night.

In the morning, there still remained some snow.
The tracks are of tree sparrows.

As it gets much harder to find food, small birds rushed into my garden
and feeding on sunflower seed. This is varied tit, holding the seed
with feet and cracked the shell.

Before this snow, I went skiing. Not backcountry tour but just a ski resort.
But going into snow field is not a bad thing anyway.

This is Mt. Tanigawa. It's an infamous mountain for over 800 climbing accidents.

To be added I did second smoking for this winter.

Thanks for looking.
With best-
 
Thanks, William.

I mean smoking some meat.
That cardboard box is a improvised smoker and things like these are obtained.

I like how beautiful your garden looks with snow. Thanks for sharing. As usual, the knife looks great!
 
I love the way Fujita Yuji photographs birds! He never just takes a picture of a bird, but captures its personality. His pictures are always so alive.

Of course, his other photography is excellent, too, but his bird photographs really are works of art!

Man I love Japan. Do you ever purchase any Kanestune knives? At Shot, I was talking in lenght with the makers at the booth, and they had a very neat DVD showing a guy using one of their knives in the snow. It was glorious. Is that your son tucked under that jacket?

On another note, we are in another snow storm here. It hasn't snowed like this in 20 years and they are calling for it again monday. TonyM was right.. "oh look, snow :rolleyes: "
 
Awesome photos as usual Fujita, always fun to see all of the animal tracks in the snow the next morning here too. Right now we're just having our second day of rain...yaaaaaaay...more rain.

That smoked bacon made me hungry!
 
Very nice garden my friend.

Worked with an excellent old Japanese Gardener when I was landscaping for a stone wall and garden mason briefly. I learned more from him in 6 months about horticulture than I could have ever learned in a school.
Domo Mr Tanaka for taking the time and the patience, I think of him everytime I garden.

Took okinawan karate for 4.5 yrs and my brother is a blackbelt, always had a great interest in your culture and history from a very young age.
My dad(karate in the 60's and 70's) before he passed was starting to cultivate some nice bonsai.
Our climate and terrain here in BC seem very similar to parts of Japan
have a great day, gotta finally go get some work done.
regards

I used to think you were cool. But you are stealing all the snow from me. :grumpy:

On the otherhand, great pics. :thumbup:
