The crowds were out in force in the small country town of Akizuki, famous for its castle ruins and, of course, flowers. We were lucky to have a second weekend in which to enjoy them.

It’s Cherry Blossom (Hanami) season in Japan

In time for it, I bought a Nikon D7000. Though it was overcast, which isn’t my ideal for photographing them, I took a few shots of my father-in-law’s cherry tree.

Atomic Insights Blog: Nuclear plant issues in Japan are the least of their worries.

A good article putting things into perspective. While everyone is worrying and debating uselessly over the Fukushima reactor, the real people in serious danger need to be focussed on.

Today’s quake in Japan, showing intensity on the Japanese scale. First time ever I’ve seen the whole country affected & a severity of 7 (the highest).
