Truckee

I took my bike up to Truckee to see a friend last weekend.

バイクに乗ってトラッキーって言う町に友達を会いに行きました。

Donner Lake, where my friend lives. Everyone seems to be just hanging out, waiting for the ski season to start.
ドンアー湖の近くに友達が住んでいます。町の人たちはみんなスキーをやりたいので雪を待っています。

Adrianna

This is Erik. He's into plates of gravy and beermosas, as in mamosas with beer.
彼はエリックって言う。エリックはグレビーとビールもさが好き。ビールもさってビールとオレンジジュース。おかしいよね。




I got snowed in on Monday, which was pretty sweet. Truckee was built for snow and the whole place mountain just made more sense.
月曜日雪が降って帰れなくなってよかった。トラッキーは雪によく合います。

Fall to Winter

Thanks Michele.

Desk Sketches

I've got my Cintiq hooked up and I've been doing sketches/ paintings of things in my room plus one photo.

Plane window

I took this from a plane between Spokane and Portland, in Oregon.

Arboretum II

This shot is not from the arboretum but up in the hills in Greenbluff.

A deer in the arboretum. There are two fawns who seem to have been separated from their mother. Hopefully they can find her before the winter.

A little bug

Just a little something

Arboretum Insects

These images are posted in higher resolution so you can see more of the detail. Insects are fascinating little monsters.
今回写真のしつを高くしました、細かい所を見えれるように。昆虫は怪物だよね。

Abstract

Today's photos are more abstract, primarily color and composition. The top two are my favorites. I took these at the Arboretum where my mom works. Next time I'll put up some insects.
今日は美術的な写真です。色と構図を考えながら撮りました。お母さんの公園の仕事で撮って今度あそこで撮った虫の写真を載せます。

The New Macro

I finally got my very own macro lens. You'll have to open the pics to see all the good detail.
やっとマクロレンズが来た！写真を拡大したら細かいところを見える。楽しい。

Garden

This is my mom's cat Kumori. He's super sweet and still young enough to be Genki.

Some peppers at a market in Spokane.

Tomorrow

This is my last post from Japan. I'm flying out tomorrow. I've spent the last few weeks with friends in Kagoshima. I visited castles, aquariums, concerts and beaches.

It's been a great two years but I have to say that I'm ready to go home. I can't wait to see everyone back in the States.
