Obuse Wood

Hello,

My wife's grandparents are from Obuse so whenever we go there it has a gentle feeling to the trip.  I have been a couple of times and had a wonderful times each time.  I am always at a loss for words for the beauty that is all around me there.  The whole area has so many different feels, ages , and tastes it would take a whole website just to explain it.

I saw this log sitting all by it's self next to a huge pile of other lumber, most likely for firework in winter.  I think about what make those holes in it, was it a person with a drill bit, a large worm, or did it grow that way.  The texture from the saw-blade cut works wonders with the grain of the wood.  I enjoy the green hedge and the background lumber that ties it all together.

Thank you very much for reading.

Bee on Yellow Flower

Hello,

This is another photo that I took on my walk around Obuse, Japan. There is some old buildings and most of them have beautiful gardens that you have to see to believe.  Luckily Obuse as a town actually will allow tourists to visit many of these gardens that are a part of the town and are inside of people's houses.  Outside of the entrance to either the gardens or the houses is a panel telling you you can enter and enjoy the space.

This bee was all alone in one of those gardens enjoying this yellow flower to it's fullest.  I almost feels like I could sneeze by just looking at this flower and all that pollen in the center of it.  The bright yellow flower and the delicate striped bee seem to be moving together and in love with working in a symbiotic manner.  The gone background makes you focus on the scene and nothing else.

Thank you very much for reading.
