yamadera
a japanese cat confused
by english 		waterfall
laughter trickles above
the mountain path
hojinoie temple
a monks cat meditates
in the sun 		japanese folk songs
winding through mountains
mogami river
lake biwa
the morning mist rises
with a mantra 		kamakura
a tree full of sparrow songs
suddenly silent
her pink kimono
his black umbrella
rainy season 		tokyo moon
the only starlight
his eyes
quiet mountain
dragonfly wings
capture the sun 		dull gray day --
the red of a robin's breast
brighter in kyoto
lotus pond
the sound of rain spills
from the leaves 		moonless night
the lights from the bridge
bridge the water
fireflies
his bright smile
as he captures one 		rainy season
the colourful spash
koi pond
kamakura
so far from home
so near a friend
