Yes, it was a first time for us to see the ocean this year, because we were very busy during new year holidays.

Today it was a little cold and we had a very strong wind from east, that's why there were many windsurfers on the ocean.

Rainbow over the ocean - Shirahama beach

061112rainbow01_1Now I am writing this weblog at 11:30 in the night.
It is very cold outside, so I can not open the window tonight.

Today we had a strong wind from west and there were some ships in the sea.

Yes, this is a tipical scenery of winter in Shimoda.
That ship is staying in this area until the strong wind will stop.
Because they have very strong wind at the southmost area of Izu peninsula today and it would be 30 meters per minutes or more.

They can not go through this area because of its danger.

By the way, when my wife and I went to Shimoda we found the rainbow.

It was raining over that ocean, I guess, but in Shirahama ........

Shirahama beach after a long time

061103beach01_1We had a holiday in Okinawa last week.

And when we came back to Shirahama it had already been dark.
Besides we had been very busy to prepare for this weekend in these days.

So I could go to the beach to take a picture after a long time today.

In Okinawa we went to Ishigakijima island and Haterumajima island.
They have excellent beach and nature, but actually this Shirahama beach is very beautiful same as Okinawa, I think.

061022hikariandyuuki01_1Today it was almost cloudy and we had sometimes a little rain in Shirahama.

As I had to go to Shirahama Tourist Information I took my children, Hikari and Yuuki, together.

There was nobody on the beach, even surfers, becase we did not have good waves today.

When I was in the office I heard a voice of Yuuki crying outside.

I asked my daughter and she said,

"Yuuki wants to get off the shoes. But I said No because it is rainning here today."

I sometimes take my children recently and my son plays on the beach, so he wanted to do it today too. .....
