Our oldest son has been experimenting with welding geometric shapes, these are octahedron made from stainless steel (one is made with individual triangles and the other is folded, then welded). He has plans for a large sculpture.

I am used to seeing sun dogs at this time of the year (the sun light reflecting off ice crystals in the air), but this was early in the morning with the full moon.

Our budding arborist was practicing climbing trees.
This whole area was farm fields 30 years ago, so there are no large trees to climb. I thought it was odd how the pine tree in the back looks like an artificial tree with such perfectly spaced branches.

They say that weaving is like dancing and this one has footsteps that I really have to concentrate on.

We just got back from a couple of weeks in Japan (amazing trip!),  so I thought I would share a few pictures -

Tokyo from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, with Mt Fuji in the distance
Skytree Tower in Tokyo, along the Sumida River (near where we stayed for a week in Tokyo)
Great Buddha of Kamakura

Beautiful fall gardens in Tokyo -




Moat around the Imperial Palace, Tokyo
Kyoto
Nara
Himeji Castle
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome
Hiroshima Peace Garden (chains of origami cranes) - one of the many reminders of the importance of peace.
Inari Shrine, Kyoto (near where we stayed for a week in Kyoto)
Walking up the mountain at the Inari Shrine
