Thick and Strong Bones in Sea Bream

A small size sea bream; I bought this one in a supermarket by 498JPY.

I wrapped the fish in aluminum foil, and baked by gas

Actually, it was a little stinky with fish smell. I should have poured some olive oil before wrapping it. I regretted not doing so.

Sunday Afternoon Walk to a Small Shito Shrine by a River Bank

A River; It’s rare fine day amid rainy season, so the mountain top is covered with cloud

A Small Shinto Shrine near my House, in Northern JAPAN

The Same Shrine from different angle towards the river bank

Two boards are put on the wall of a barn in the Shrine Area

The left board says that droppings from a dog shall be disposed properly by the dog’s owner.

The right board says that, when you play in this shrine area, do not break anything, do not make anything dirty, and put in your mind that we all have to keep the shrine clean.

But I can tell you that there is no longer any single kid playing in the shrine area. There are no kids around there because Japan’s society has already aged very much.

Behind the Rice Field is Gozu Mountains

I have been busy for so long. That is all for today.

Bird Feeding in Winter

This morning I found there was a lot of Snow in my garden.

I removed snow to get to the Bird Feeding Place.

They are very careful against Human Kind. If I get closer to take a photo, they will immediately fly away.

I hope they can survive this winter.

A Rare Fine Day in Northern Japan, Niigata

A Couple of Ducks on Koagano River

Just Behind the River is Pear Orchard

I have just found that Narcissus Flowers are Blooming at the Edge of my Garden.

That’s it for yesterdays’ photos.

What is a Good thing is that Salmons can be soft by Boiling Hours and Hours

I Bought Salmon’s Heads with Reasonable Price in a Super market in my Community

Boiling Many Hours Made even Salmons’ Heads Soft. Yes they are Edible!!!

I found that it’s Already December. But Let me Upload Photos of November

I set up a Feeding Place for Sparrows so that They can Survive Winter

Daikon, or Japanese Radish from my Garden. They can surely help me cut the cost of living

Slices of Salty Egg Plants and Small Tomato; I just wanted them to be colorful on the Supper Table.

Green Vegetables in my Garden. They are Strong against Cold. But once covered with Snow, I don’t want to dig them out of the snow.

Lunar Eclipse on November Eighth; I should have used a Tripod, though the tripod is being used to fix a web-camera for my online classes of Japanese language

There are Two types of Camellia: Tsubaki and Sazanka. I cannot tell the differences between the two, though.

I planted a “High-class” Persimmon Five years ago. At last I got just one Persimmon this year. I succeeded on getting rid of bitterness by applying strong alcohol on top. It became So SWEET!!!
