Nature Photo Challenge #31 – Autumn Colors 2023


I’m usually a fanatic when it comes to chasing autumn colors each year but this year, after spending autumn solstice in Japan, I had sort of given up, figure I’ve probably missed peak autumn color season at home.

#SundayStills: #Textures in Toshodaiji Temple, Nara, Japan


As I sort and edit the nearly 1,000 photos I took on my trip to Japan, I feel like I’m experiencing Japan all over again as I find the story behind each photo. My favorite photos have so far been the nature photos.

#SundayStills: Animals and #Fences


As I sit here in my cold bedroom writing this post, I realized, I haven’t explored anywhere new in Utah this year. Usually, I would usually go to at least one place I either never been or haven’t been in a while each year.

CWWC: Signs in Japan


I don’t think I’ve ever had any difficulty following signs. I’ve always loved signs. They are the most tool to point me to where I need to go. During the first few days of my recent trip to Japan, I found the signs very confusing. It often either led me to a longer route or in circles.

#SundayStills: #Bridges


I love to look at any city from a high vantage point because it always amazes me to see how dense the city really. This is a look at Osaka, Japan from the Umeda Sky Building – a 140-m building in the heart of Osaka. Looking at the bridges, I was frankly surprised by how different they are.
