I’ve had a restless week thanks to my imagination and certain stresses. This restless has left me unable to focus at not only work but at life. It’s why my posts have been next to wordless this week. It’s hard to write when I’m feeling jittery and anxious like I’m waiting for the apocalypse.

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.

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.

I took this picture at the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living. Ever since visiting the People’s Museum in Glasgow, Scotland, I’ve been wanting to visit museums that dedicates to the lives of common people in a city. I was so glad there was such museum in Osaka, Japan.
It’s so fascinating to learn about people’s lives, much better than just looking at some old rock from hundreds of thousands of years ago. I saw this when I exited the main gallery. I didn’t know what they were but upon looking at the sign on the wall, I discovered these are quilts.
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.

It’s ashamed I didn’t get any photo of the moon in Japan. I’m not sure it would’ve been easy with all the tall buildings and city lights. So here are some of my old moon photos.

#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.
