This morning I went to the beach for a walk after long time.
It was sunny here in Shimoda but we had a very strong wind in Shirahama.
I was going to walk heading to Shimoda downtown, but I changed my mind due to the strong wind.
I took this picture behind Shirahama shrine.
This afternoon my wife said,
"Look at this. This sakura is blooming!"
There are some Sakura trees in our field, and this is "Kawazu Sakura".
This tree blooms from the beginning of February, but it has some blossoms.
It's too early, see you again in next February!
As it was very warm today I went to the beach for snorkeling.
There are not so many good points in Shirahama, but Itado area is one of good points in Shimoda.
The water was a little cold, but it was very clear and I could see a lot of fishes there.
Today my wife and I went to the Shirahama primary school.
We had a class observation of my son's class.
When we got to the school they were learning the living things of this season.
This week they are going to go outisede to explor and find out the plants and the bugs.
My camera is not good at taking night sky, so I could not take it.....
Last night my wife said outstide at around 12:30 AM,
"Look at that! there are a lot of stars!"
I went out and look up the sky. There were a lot of stars twinkling.
When we were looking we found out a shooting star.
I didn't know, but in these days we have had a meteor stream "Orionids", so we could see one of them.
From this season the air is very clear and we can see a lot of stars in the night sky here in Shimoda.
Recently most of Japanese people eat white polished rice.
10 days ago my father in low sent us the unpolished rice cooking set.
This set has a bag of unpolished rice and a pressure cooker, so we tried cooking unpolished rice with adzuki beans.
It was not only really nice and delicious, but also chewy texture and tastes sweeter than white rice.
Of course it has a nutrition.
Since last Tuesday we have had strong north wind here in Shirahama.
From this season we sometimes have strong wind.
That's why we have already set the fences on the beach on last Sunday, and the sand on the beach are protected from the wind by these fences.
It was very good timing.
Yesterday it was sunny and very hot here in Shimoda, but I could not go to the beach to swim.
So I went to the sea for snorkeling today.
It takes about 15 minutes by car from Sakuraya to Kujuppama Beach.
This beach is very small but the water was really clear and I could take pictures of fishes.
In this season we set up the fences on the beach.
Because we have strong north east wind between autumn and spring, and because we have to protect the sand on the beach from this wind.
Today we had a work to set up the fences from 7:00 AM.
In this early morning we had a heavy rain and stopped raining before work, but it began to rain again after we started to work.
However we finished to do it in the rain......
It was rainy here in Shimoda today.
When the rain was stopped around noon I went out to take pictures.
I found out the water drops on the Aloe near Sakuraya.
This aloe became fresh after the rain.
In last one week we have been very busy, so we could not go to the beach.
But today I went to the beach with my son after school.
At this point in the Shirahama beach there are a lot of flotsam, and Yuuki played with them.
Hello, how have you been?
This is Yuuki.
In this season we can see many kinds of fruit at the super market in Japan.
Today my grand mother who lives in Miyazaki sent us these fruits.
This is a Pear, but this pear is bigger than the other kind of pear in Japan.
The flavor is like grape and very sweet.
Thank you, grand ma!
I have been wonderting this since long time ago.
These are the slippers for the public toilet in Sakuraya.
I have never heard that the slippers are fresh.
I think this is wrong English....
But is it possible to use "Fresh" in this case?
Click here to see the other photos of these slippers.
This is a Sashimi combination which our customers ordered on last weekend, and we provided this Sashimi with Ise-ebi Lobster.
In Izu peninsula the lobster season has already started from the middle of September, and we can get it until May next year.
Fresh lobster is tasted a little sweet and very delicious!
When we have a order of Ise-ebi Lobster we can cook it as Miso-soup for breakfast if the customer like.
Why don't you try Lobster in Japan?
Today it was sunny after 3 days, but we had a cold horth wind.
I watched TV news this evening and they said they had first snow of this season in Hokkaido today.
That7s why it was a little cold here in Shimoda.
But the weather forecast says it will be sunny this weekend.
By the way I went to the nearest beach called Shirahama Beach with my son after school.
There were some surfers in the water but nobody was swimming today.
Every day my son, Yuuki has to do homework.
For example, writing and reading in Japanese or math.
Today he had to study how to write Japanese Kanji character.
When I was looking at him my wife said,
"In these days the primary school students have to learn more difficult Kanji character than we did."
"Oh, really? Let me check it.".......
