Dark Mornings Once Again
“Morning Glow” Cedar Park, 2018
With the recent time change, my mornings have gotten darker, but I don’t mind since my commute sometimes goes from dark to light and I can see the sky and clouds change colors.
This morning, as I went to the car, I saw the intense pink color and had to take a photo. Just a few minutes later, the color was gone. It’s interesting how time passes quickly at dawn and dusk, at least in this part of the world.

An Old Coaster
“Coaster” Cedar Park, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
I’ve had this coaster from a Japanese bar on my desk for possibly 20 years now. Of course, the desks have changed as I moved from home to home, but the paper coaster survives. Actually, is the coaster 20+ years old? I can’t be sure… maybe I picked it up on a subsequent trip to Japan. Is it from a watering hole or a karaoke box? I don’t remember, but I guess it’s not too important. I thought that I could easily do some sleuthing to find out, but I think it’s kind of nice to not know where it came from. Even mundane things that remain mysterious are kind of cool.

Blue Image and Wandering around Japan
“Blue” Austin, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Lately I’ve been watching videos from NIPPON WANDERING TV. They are high-quality stabilized walking/biking videos around Japan, mainly in Tokyo, which I find super-relaxing, especially because there is no soundtrack other than the sounds of the environment. I like to put one of the videos on the TV and go about my business: cooking, folding laundry, or whatever. It puts me in a good mood. 😊
Please check them out when you have a chance! Here’s one that I particularly like:
******************
Today’s photo is of my Seiko SNDA chronograph watch and Jinhao shark fountain pen on my graph paper notebook. I applied a Lightroom preset named “Blue” that I created a while ago for an image that I’ve long forgotten. I thought it gave a nice effect.
I hope you had a nice day!

St. Patrick’s Day Donuts
“Green Donuts” Cedar Park, 2019
I brought home some donuts from work of Friday, and we’ve been slowly working our way through eating them all. They’re green for St. Patrick’s Day, of course. Tonight we didn’t have corned beef and cabbage… the kids said no thanks, so we had spaghetti instead.
In case you were wondering, the green donuts tasted the same as regular Krispy Kremes. 😊
I hope you had a nice day!
またね～
