October's Mixed Bag

A lot of rain this month. There were far more rainy days than not rainy days; notice I didn't say sunny days. So, I got out when I could and did my best to find interesting places and things to take pictures of. Let's go!

A rainy day is not going to stop these joggers from going for a run.

In a month like this an umbrella is one's best friend.

No sunshine, no smile.

A thin streak of blue in a predominately grey sky.

A hot date out on the Osanbashi pier (Yokohama, Japan).

A million little puddles.

A little rain won't deter this rose from shining.

I think that shooting this flower slightly out of focus enhances the image.

For anyone in the Yokohama area, the rose garden in Yamashita park is still going strong. Check it out.

Yes, it's me.

A little fun with a wide angle lens.

Is this sign language for "feed me"?

Taking a single ray of sunshine on the face.

More wide angle fun.

Wow, blue sky!

Yamashita park is always a great place to stretch ones legs.

The big picture of the Hikawamaru.

One of the few nice days this month.

The tour guide.

I'm so glad to be here on this day.

Welcome to the jungle!

Is this Natalie Schafer (Lovey Howell) from Gilligan's Island?

Everyone loves a flower garden.

Making a movie at Zou no hana.

The most important job in Japan - the beer delivery man.

People watching at Nihon Odori avenue.

The Kanagawa Prefecture Government building at Nihon Odori avenue.

Why take a main street when there are so many back alleys available?

Soul searching in Isezakicho.

For the love of color - an autumn leaf.

A lot of nice old buildings in Yokohama. Western influence plays an important part in Yokohama's history.

A sunny day is a thing of beauty.

Shooting one over the bow.

It's so nice today I'm feeling down right giddy!

Last shot of the day: The Osanbashi Pier's (Yokohama International Passenger Terminal) ever vigilant security force.

Thanks for stopping by!
