Today my daughter had a game of ping pong at junior high school in Minami Izu town, so I took her with my son.
During her games, as we had 3 hours my son and I drove to southern part of Izu peninsula.
We saw the fisherman left for Ise ebi fishing from small fisherman's port.
They put the lobster net in the sea from now and will pull up them at around 4 or 5 AM tomorrow.
The period of lobster fishing is between September and May in Izu peninsula.
After school I went to the beach with my son as usual.
Yesterday we had very strong west wind here in Shimoda.
This morning we still had a little wind, but the wind was stopped after that and the sky was very clear.
We could see the Izu Seven Islands over the ocean.
My son was playing shooting his shoe!
Today we had strong west wind here in Shimoda.
When I went shopping I took this picture on the way to the beach.
We could see clear bule sea and Izu Oshima Island over the ocean.
From this season we sometimes have cold west wind, and we can see the boats which come to this sea to protect them from the strong wind.
Becuase they have more than 30 or 40 m/s wind at around Irozaki cape.
Too dangerous for them it is!
Look at his hand.
There is someting on his parm.
Do you know what this is?
After school I went to pick up my son and went to the beach this late afternoon.
Before getting into the beach my son found out something and start running.
"Look at this, dad!" he said and licked it......
Yesterday the weather forecast said it would be colder, but it was not so cold today actually.
However we could see the Izu Oshima Island clearly from Sakuraya on the hill because the air, the sky and everything is getting into winter.
After school I went to pick up my son and went to the beach together.
This is "Shirahama Chuo Beach" next to "Shirahama Ohama Beach" which is the nearest one.
My son and I walked on the beach for a while. ( The small person in this picture is my son!)
Yesterday we had strong wind and heavy rain here in Shimoda.
It was almost typhoon, but we didn't have any problem with it.
Today the weather was changed!
We could see the blue sky and sea this morning, so I decided to go to the nearest beach "Shirahama" with my son this afternoon.
I am a member of Izu Shirahama Tourist association.
Today we went to Itado area in Shirahama to clean up the Aloe field.
There are a lot of Aloe on a hill, and we can see Shirahama beach from this hill.
The Aloe festival will take place from December 9th.
This field is one of good points for the pictures, because the contrast of blue cloor of sea and red one of Aloe is very gorgeous.
Why don't you come to Shirahama to see it?

Today my son finished school at 2:30 PM.
As usual I went to pick up my son after school, and went to the beach together.
We played making art of shadow and hand writing on the sand.
It was fun!
Today it was sunny again, but warmer than yesterday.
I went to Shimoda downtown by bike this afternoon.
On the way to the downtown my bike chain was out of place, so I tried to fix it.
Then I found out a ladybug on the leaves along the street.
As it was very warm today, so was she sleeping under the sunshine?
No, she wanted to run away from me actually!
This week and next week we have birthdays of my daughters, so we had a party tonight.
My first daughter has turned seventeen and my second daughter will turn fourteen next week.
"Time flies like an arrow"
They are getting older very soon.
I show you the pictures which I took on the beach today here.
Do you know what kind of blossom this is?
I took this picture through the window of room #104, the Japanese style room.
I think those who stayed in this room have seen these in early summer.
It will be a fruit in every June.
The answer is loquat.
I show you the picture of this fruit......

On last Friday I went to Toi town in Izu city, on the other side of Izu peninsula, with my wife and her friends.
Long time ago there used be a lot of gold mine in this peninsula, but Toi gold mine was the largest one.
We can get into the mine by walking and there are museum and suvenir shops.
Here is a web page of this gold mine museum, which I have just made tonight.
You can see all pictures on the web page on facebook album here.

On last Sunday my daughter had a ping pong game at Junio High School in Minami-Izu town, so I took her by my car.
During their games I went to Ocii Beach for snorkeling for the first time.
There is a small fisherman port and the water around breakwater was really clear.
I could see many kinds of fish and took a lot of pictures of them.
