Friday

More beautiful weather, a little breezier than yesterday. Started reading Bill Bryson's At Home last night. Need to do some vacuuming, so thinking about turning the radio on for some classic rock.

In the meantime, here's a great slideshow of Japanese wildlife in a Hokkaido winter -- red-crowned cranes, whooper swans, Steller's sea eagles and many others.

Now I see why the cranes are so beloved by the Japanese. They are so elegant and beautifully austere with that black and white plumage.

It's coolish and sunny today -- a really lovely day. The vacuuming's done and I'm about to finish some laundry. After that I may do something really radical and rest! :D

I figure there's so much corgi and cat hair woven into the fibers of our carpet that it will never wear out. :-D

Some of those photos would make nice icons for a certain community we both know and love, especially some of single birds and that amazing sunset.

I wish you could smell the honeysuckle here today. The whole outdoors is perfumed with it.

Thanks for sharing those pictures.
I liked the one of the brazenly daring fox taking his fresh dinner through the throng of cranes.
