27 April 2024 Tokyo: A Walk Around the Neighborhood

 


It was an on and off rainy day.  The kind of day that we tell folks that we just stay home.  We don't push ourselves on such a day since we are a) retired b) staying here for a month and c) hist is a travel marathon not a sprint.  So when there was a decent break in the rain we took a walk.  Not a big walk but just a jaunt around our neighborhood.


Some of the hotels around here are trying to put on airs


Found a small shrine and had it all to ourselves


Except for the concrete menagerie


Two sober owls and two drunk owls


A mini series of gates


Wolfies


Little wolf prayers


How to worship at a Buddhist shrine 


Pink Dogwoods.  The Dogwood has taken over as the predominant flowering tree


Rose blast


A green green blacony


With a "scare" geisha


So many people will share the street with cars


It has been 1 year and 327 days since we began our Migration
