More garden/other photos...

[Matsubara]

Suffice to say, I've been going hog wild taking pictures of everyone and everything with the new camera. So, enjoy, or hate on them - whatever!


So, first of all - garden update - I put in the last 2 plants (I think). I'm pretty satisfied with it now, just need to wait for things to grow in.

Here's the laundry-drying area before. :-(




And now, with the addition of a bougainvillea on a lattice. Who says a laundry drying rack has to be a depressing place?



Also, put in a lily of the nile...






The rest are just pictures around the neighborhood and around town.



Intersection visibility mirror.



This house is in my neighborhood. I guess they built their house themselves, because these are all small bathroom-type windows!


On the expressway - my wife took this one - it's blurry, but kinda interesting.




These are in the city - near where my kids take their English class.

2. Thank you. I especially liked the lily one, hence the higher res.

My other favorite was the traffic mirror. They should use them in the states. They really help on blind corners.

5. Thanks. I wish I felt comfortable posting pix of us...

...but there are so many nasty people on the web, I'd have to mosaic our faces. Is that being paranoid?

I saw the very intimate pix NewWaveChick1981 put up, and I couldn't believe anyone would have the gumption to do that.

Not the gumption to pose in sexy lingerie, but just to put your face and identity out there for people to do God knows what with.
