Pre-summer update 4, This and That.

This post has a collection of This and That Pictures.
Memory moments of Pre-summer 2018


Once a week I ride my bicycle along Muromi River.
Goal: Shikata Elementary School.
Always fun going there, always fun being there.
This year the kids i teach=entertain are 3rd and 4th graders.
Fun, fun and more fun and they call this work......



As seen from the classroom on the 3rd floor:
Kids playground (front)
Yap's playground (back).


A sight seeing trip with Karin and Leo, 
our dear friends from Hawaii.








The above are pix taken at Sakurai Jinja in Itoshima.
Want to go?

Next was a trip to O-ike and surrounding.
All part of Mt Kuju land in Oita prefecture.






Nice area for birding, hiking and/or 
a relax Stroll into the Green.



200 Yen help yourself hot spring in Oita.
Special experience, but sadly..the water was too hot for us during summer.!!


Exploring Kyushu.
Always flowers, flowers and more flowers to spot.

Next a never boring visit to Sennyoji temple at Mt Raizan.
A few months ago we were here when it had just snowed, 
see previous posting.










Nori-kun trying to pose like a kitten.
The boy turns 16 this autumn.



Bush strawberries, yummy.
Great finds when hiking around in spring.


We had motor vessel A 
(yes that's its name)
for a couple of weeks here in Hakata bay at anchor.
Good for many a discussion: What the heck is That?


Part of my J.O.B. life is crewing on board of fishing vessel SUMIE MARU.







 The catch of the day before landed well and alive at the fish market.
Always exciting...what will be the sales price.



Not all departures are accompanied with an awesome sunrise.
This morning start of our day at seas was delayed by 1 hour because of a tremendous downpour.



Will the rain stop soon...?
Moment to catch up on SNS. 



Our first typhoon of the year. Not too bad. As always, typhoons are A Lot of Stress and A Little Trouble.


Still don't believe in ghosts?



And then suddenly: Summer is here.
It all started with a huge firework display at Momochihama.

Salute
