Gyoda Can Sometimes be Soothing
Yesterday was certifiably the worst day I've had yet in Japan. Nausea, headache, email fighting, locking keys in cars, insomnia ... it had everything that makes a day shitty.
In one of the few five-minute spans that wasn't occupied by crap, I managed to escape to the nearby 麦 (mugi: barley) fields for some pictures. The colors aren't so interesting in photographs, but it was nice to get out.
And who can't feel warm and fuzzy for at least a moment at the sight of a bunch of ducklings!

Ducks rock. I love them. They remind me of my childhood growing up summers on the Cape. Quack!

Wow.....love that close up of the grain... how about a copy of that for my birthday?? I can see that being a real "meditative" trip, considering your day! good thought....

Mmmm...duck!
That shinrei raccoon head under the green leaves behind them that almost come down into the water is kinda cool, tho.
Tan-tan-tanuki no...

I think that was one of the places where I used to go bird watching. That was one of the hobbies I took up when I lived in Gyoda. I still have my Japanese bird guide.
More photos of Gyoda, please!
:)
