  1. These are both beautiful, Rick. Now you're going to tell me you did nothing to tweak them, aren't you?

  3. Glenn,
    Thanks, and yeah, these are almost as shot (minor contrast tweak and slight cropping). I took these last spring, but didn't post them then because I thought (then) that they were "mistakes." When I looked at them again yesterday I decided that I quite liked them. Glad you do too.

    Susan,
    It's only koinobori (carp wind streamers) on a long piece of bamboo. Pretty common sight in Japan in May. The combination of poor focus and night makes it a bit unrecognizable.
