At the lotus pond

Today was my last day at my radio program, Earth Feeling. When I started doing this back in 1998, I never imagined I'd be doing so for nine years. Even more surprising, I've been invited to return whenever I get back to Fukuoka. That makes leaving very sweet.

After the program I did a bit of this and that in preparation for leaving for the US. We depart Fukuoka Tuesday morning, July 31st. On the way home I stopped for a photo assignment at the moat surrounding the remains of Fukuoka castle. It's stilled filled with water and at this time of year brimming with hundreds of the magnificent elephant ear-sized leaves of the lotus.


Lots of dragon flies, too.
