You would think that on our morning 40 minute walks that I wouldn't find much to photo... It's not like the scenery changes all that much...
The farmers are letting their green onions go to seed. All over, the green onion fields are filled with silvery orbs.
Talking about letting things go to seed! This farm shed only needs a big push before it will settle into the field itself! The farmer talks about getting the last of the tools out of the shed before he brings it down but the shed may beat him to it.
Of course the farmer and his wife have better things to do than pull down sheds. Here they are planting chrysanthemum sprouts.
In the corners of some fields are the rich blue irises!
I spotted some walking friends in the distance. A Sunday early morning walk before the day heats up is the perfect time to stop and chat with neighbors getting their exercise!
And here is one of Choco's few friends. This is Sasuke-kun whom we greet every morning. Tetsu has gotten into the habit of giving Sasuke-kun (and Choco) a treat. Sasuke-kun no longer looks forward to seeing us... only to getting his morning treat! Choco looks pretty eager too!
I used to love to take walks when we lived at the lake (when I was growing up). Walking in the countryside is much more fun than walking in a subdivision.
ReplyDeleteLovely countryside photos, onion heads, they shine in the sun , plastic weedmat with round hole for plants, wish we had that here. Choco, glad you have a mate to share goodies with. Greetings, Jean.
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining what that is!
DeleteAren't onion flowers amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove japanese countryside! The wild flowers, the filds. Everything is so different from my place in the world: Costa Rica. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAw, Tetsu-san must be suffering from a complex now that the dog doesn't look fwd to HIM, but only to the treat he brings. Perhaps he will find another who will love him for himself, and not the treats.....well, he already has, you Tanya-san, you love him for himself (and his carpentry skills;-0) I'm being ornery this morning. Hugs, Pat in IN
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tanya for giving us a morning view of Japan in your corner of the country!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful morning! Love the morning walk image. Also, Tetsu sure has plenty of friends, doesn't he. ;)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that's what green onions look like when they go to seed. Very cool! Thanks for sharing all of the photos!
ReplyDeleteHurrah! I was happy to receive an invitation to your new blog address.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tanya.

With eyes open wide and an open mind you can find your surroundings full of interesting things to photograph. We need to learn to see, and your camera is helping me to see that! Even the rambling shed is 'beautiful'.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the pictures you take on your early morning walks with Choco. You live in a beautiful area with the forest behind your house and the fields and farms nearby. Nice place to walk.
ReplyDeleteI love the new larger pictures. You're photography skills are great. We feed the neighborhood dogs each morning too...and the cats, of course!
