Quick Update

We finally got around to updating some (not all) of our pictures from Children's Day and from our trip with my parents down to Hiroshima and Kyoto - as mentioned in our 05/22/2006 post. I've also gone back and embedded a few sample photos in that post. The remainder are in our Gallery, in two separate sections, both dated 05/22/2006, but one says "Children's Day" next to it and the other, "Hiroshima". I'm still working through the Kyoto/Nara pictures, but those will hopefully be posted soon.

For those that are wondering, my folks took off for the States yesterday afternoon and arrived home safely. After the trip to Hiroshima and Kyoto, you'd think we'd be tired, but we still found a way to let them see Tokyo Disney, a matsuri festival in Asakusa, an archery festival in Miura City, the view from the 69th floor of Landmark Tower in Yokohama, and several other awesome sights. They had a great time and now we're all trying to recover...

Needless to say, it'll take me a while to get through all of the photos, but my priority is on Kyoto and I will post more about the latter part of their trip in the near future.

Is it just the picture, or does one of those pigeons only have one leg?

Jeff,

That's a very astute observation. It does look like the pigeon at Hiroshima Castle has only one leg, but I don't recall signs of any handicap as I was shooting photos of it. Perhaps it is suffering from a flamingo complex.

Yes, it's been a lot of fun. Mike's never taken a class but, his family are photo nuts! His dad and he are both competing for the "best photo" all the time. We'd love to have you guys as guests. You should see if you could take a space A flight :)
