120914sunrise01120914sunrise02"What time is the sunrise tomorrow morning?"

Last night our customers asked me.

"It will be 5:26 AM."

So they woke up early this morning and went to the beach to take photos.

When they had the breakfast I asked them to show me the photos which they took this morning.

The photos were very beautiful!

So I asked them to send it to me by e-mail and I posted their photos on this web blog.

2012/06/25 Strong wind and sand on the beach

120625sand03I went to the nearest beach "Shirahama" with my son after school.

2012/06/11 Snorkeling at Tsumekizaki Cape

120610snorkeling13On last Sunday, as it was beautiful day I went to Tsumekizaki cape in Shimoda for snorkeling with my son.

The water is getting warmer, so I could get into the water without wetsuit.

But the water was not clear and we could not find out many fishes, because the water condition was not good then and it was too earlier for snorkeling.

We will try to go there after August again.
