charming yukari

Jesse and I went for a walk this afternoon, just as the sun was starting to set. I remembered while we were out enjoying the neighborhood that I used to feel disapointed that we lived in a suburban area "with no charm." While I'd still love to live out in the country, or even in the city, I've come to really love our neighborhood. I was struck by a few interesting scenes today (and I was testing out our new camera) so here they are:

Lots of vending machines in Japan. This one was sort of in the middle of nowhere.

This was at a nearby temple in the setting sun.

These buckets were at the edge of a cemetery. They are labeled with family names, and used to wash family graves.

A random Japanese house.

A family shrine, at the back of their gardens.


Jesse, rice fields, an apartment building and a lady with a dog.
