last weekend pics

Just a couple of shots I took while out last weekend. My favorite, the first one, was actually taken while I was in my car stopped at a red light.

Spring Hath Cometh....

I took this beee-u-ti-fulll picture yesterday around Lake Kawaguchi. The Sakura (cherry blossoms) were out almost in full bloom. That, combined with a great view of Mt. Fuji, made for an interesting photo idea that came out quite well. Me and a couple of my students went out for the day. Our itenerary included the Lake Kawaguchi area, then off to Iwara where we visited a huge park with lots of blooming flowers, then our last stop was in Kofu to check out a cool Samurai festival at the old castle grounds. I'll get some more pics up on here....if I somehow snap out of my lazy streak. :D
