Miyajima.

Hiroshima Museum of Art: Modigliani, Picasso, Foujita, Toulouse-Lautrec.

Arrived in Hiroshima. Dinner at a neighborhood pub, the people were so kind and the food delicious. Then…a walk to Peace Park. It was cold and the crows had a lot to say. I felt admonished. It’s difficult to describe the feelings of shame, sadness, and fear that swept over me.

Ferry rides and a gardening idea.

Hike on Yuge Island. Best part was visiting Shimadecafe, where we met Tomi and her beautiful mother, & we’re reunited with Chise, whom we had met on the ferry earlier.These women worked together to try to help me find a pouch I had lost. No luck, but I made 3 friends & had the most delicious lunch.

We had a a great walk on Hakata-jima. The dried plants in front of the bamboo turn out to be Canadian goldenrod.

Good advice ⬇️

Scenes from Imabari Castle

From the trains: Humans on the platforms.

These were all taken from the train on our way to Imabari today. No filters or editing. I think the glass on the train windows contributed to blueness. That’s how it looked and I want to keep them that way.

This is my new knitting friend, Mami, modeling the violet scarf by Miknits. After visiting with Mami, Frank and I enjoyed an hour at the Hyotan Onsen-the second photo is of the “Retro” bath, one of the oldest at that facility.

Oita from the museum.

Today we visited the Oita Museum. This sculpture: Stone Scape, is my favorite, but I was so close to deleting this photograph because of the blur around the woman’s head. Sometimes, the photography gods do better for you. Consider it a halo bestowed after her ascent from the path in the background.

Two waves & a peace sign. Look closely, 3 women in a cute van. Encounters along the road-Beppu
