Somewhere around Ueno park

I don't know exactly where we were or quite how we got there but I was very pleased.

This woman gave me some bird feed which was so kind. I was having a bad day and having adorable little birds come and land on me and eat went a long way to making me feel better.

On the way home...







I've definitely taken similar/same photos in Oami before but I can't find them right now so I'm sharing the ones I took today.

Kiyosumi Gardens

The winter break is over and I'm back in Japan. I've had to hit the ground running at work with my first day back being 3 final exams with students who were also struggling to get back into the rhythm of classes. Thankfully the blow has been softened by a three day weekend.

I spent most of Saturday with my good friend Maisie in the Kiyosumi Gardens. It made for a particularly lovely backdrop for our post-xmas/new years catch-up.

This was the first time in a long time I actually went out with a bag filled with SLR kit. My poor 6D and lenses have been almost completely neglected since I bought the X100S.
