10 views of Mt. Fuji. It was pretty exciting the first morning when the clouds parted.

Japan 3
Fuji Heiwa Park in Gotemba was established as a symbol of peace and felt like a necessary stop on a Japan trip.
Japan 2
I have more sublime photos from the trip, but Gundam, Unicorn Gundam.

Where better to begin a Japan photo dump than with Allen N Florence Agra’s picture of our arrival at Haneda Airport after 13+ hours in the air. Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a smile on my face. Nearly 50 years of friendship will do that. The rest of the pics are from our outing to Hakone Jinja on the next day. Beautiful temple in a scenic area, though maybe don’t order the sulfur eggs unless you’re newly engaged. That would be Allen & Flo’s lovely dog, nearly as old as Allen and me.
Time moves slowly
This week, my high school announced the passing of English teacher, Hal Donnelly. Living on campus, students spent a lot of time with the faculty and they all proved to be influential. WRA included this photo in the memorial posting. That expression and that hair, that tie and that tumbling pile of papers-I suspect I had caught sight of the candid photographer. In retrospect, I received a remarkable education, but the years were difficult (as for everyone in high school). Also, yes, we had color photography when I was in high school.
Heading Home
Traveling in Japan with Aaron Brendze Brownlie for two weeks has been amazing; homeward bound today
Mother’s Day
Grateful to spend the day in the company of an old friend and raise a glass for Mother’s Day to grand mothers, mothers missed, and mothers experienced & freshly blessed. Near or distant, you’re in our thoughts and hearts. Then we went garden visiting, which seemed appropriate.

Jigsaw Glow
It glows in the dark you say? And so jigsaw meditation becomes a light show.
