Photographs from fujifilm
I went to the Eastern Shore for work yesterday but had my girlfriend ride along since she had the day off. The day was perfect even though I was “sorta” working. Grabbed some seafood and ice cream and went to the beach for awhile.
This was taken while working at a house. They had a lovely swing with English ivy all around the tree!

Walking around the streets in Japan in the city or just in the suburbs you will notice lanterns at shrines or in the front of restaurants. They are almost all different and look great at night as the light up the night provoking you to come eat or drink there.

So walking around in Shinjuku after we went to the robot Show we checked out Golden Gai which is an area of small bars and narrow alley ways. Lots of interesting themed bars and a lot of the places don’t allow any photograph as they have signs all over the place probably because of tourists going inside and just taking pictures or some other past problem. People go in an hang loose. I wish I spent more time walking around or even went in to drink at a place. It started to rain on us and that was the only time it rained on our trip which was fortunate for us. These places, actually a lot of bars or clubs, have a cover charge to go in or occupy a table and then you buy what ever they have.

So back in May, my girlfriend an I traveled to Japan for two weeks. It was my third trip and it was her first. The time spent there was great and it was nice traveling with someone the entire time as my first two times I went alone. It was a change of pace for sure and I tried more drinks and food then previous times. My girlfriend is a chef so she was very interested in the culinary of Japan. I am all about vending machines and drinks, love them. I tried as much as I could. I am a big fan of Boss coffee and there were many different kinds that I tried on this trip. I can get my hands on Black Boss Coffee back here in my city but any others is a no go. I tried at least 12 other flavors and all were slightly different. I tried all that you see here. Look forward to more photographs from my trip both digital and film as I traveled with a film camera.

The best thing to look forward to after cherry blossoms is the Azaleas blooming and they stay around for quite aqhile. All the colors bloom at slight different times and gives the blooming a longer run. They were great this year, espceilay at Bryan Park in Richmond. They use to have a spectacular azalea garden but it has declined.

These light purple ones are right behind my house…
These were at a clients house and were large bushes with the morning sun just coming up…
Thanks for looking…
