Craft zoo in the filed

I found the craft animals in the paddy field again. Last year, I took the pictures of those.

This year just on the same filed, but little bit different. Four stuffs are displayed there.

I took pictures again. Yes, those works are so well created as if they were alive.

Niece's Wedding

I had a chance to attend my niece's wedding. she is a daughter of my sis. I went to Hukui city. It was a third time to visit there. Last time I was there is almost 30-years ago. I went there for my sister's wedding and " YUINOW":a ceremony among both relatives before the wedding reception. I found a Hukui city changed dramatically. JR Fukui Sta is now so beautiful and gorgeous. And my niece also becomes a beautiful and gorgeous,too.

Summer party season in 2009

2009's Summer is little different from usual years. Now,the end of July, still we cannot hear the declaration of " The end of Rainy season" It is still cool and not so crazy hot. Sun is mostly covered with thick or light clouds. But summer is summer, it is hard to say comfortable to live.

So the party is nessesary stuff to escape from the wet uncomfortable weather.

And what I have to say is the Tom is going to leave for Yokohama. Couples of fairwell parties are held for him. Mec English Club. Akashi ESS....

These are photos I took over there.

A Small Trip

On Wednesday 6/24, I took a substitute holiday, Usually ,My typical spending of a day-off is lying on a couch with a bite of some snacks and watching a TV monotonously. That's my typical way of spending of a day-off.
This time though,I decided to take a small and easy trip. I left home in the morning, and went west anyway without any map and secure object, It's a kind of objectless and no plan trip.

Along the Route 2, I found some attractive landmarks. When I crossed a hyogo Pref, and got into Wake-city in Okayama Pref. I found a historical landmark cite, named Une(une)-village.It was the ancient village,which is rebuilt and preserved as the those days of Jyoumon period.
I could enjoy very much, because I was the only one to visit there.

Yep, Take a look at the pictures.

And then I went to Sizutani -gakkou (閑谷学校）. It is a famous for the first public school.First state-run school in Japan established in 1630 during Edo-era. (Okayama-han or 岡山藩立学校） Mostly for samurai children.

Now,Okayama prefecture office offered as the world Heritage. It is well preserved and impressing.
.....Not completed, will write more later.....maybe?

My Son's Debut on Teacher's World

Since last time's update, it has passed 4 months already. And time has come for every thing starts-up. My son made a debut on teacher's world. He became a full-time instructor at Inami Junior High School. Inami is located rather a inconvenient place. It is located in a rural area, east of kobe city, and north of Kokogawa city. So he bought a second-hand car to commute there. Anyway, The day 1st of the April is the important day for his career and also in his life. Congratulations on his first trial.

He is going to debut just front of his car.

One more Pict of his departure.
