Went outside and touched leaves.

(These photos have not been edited. Just me and my Canon.)

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.
A screenshot with a photograph of a light brown cat whose smooshed face has the effect of making him look grumpy. In the blurry distance is a drawing of this same cat, with a sadder expression. Under the photo, text reads: "Meet Gary, the cat who ended a friendship and cost $25,000 in legal fees" A calligraphic "I" (the logo of the Philadelphia Inquirer) is in the bottom right corner of the image.

The "Hiroshima Dreamination" illuminations along Hiroshima Peace Boulevard get switched on tonight at 6pm. The ceremony is being held in the area in front of Crystal Plaza.

I used to post much more over on the other app, but this year has been full of unexpected not great things, so I’ve been mostly lurking and reposting here

I’m so glad I found a good number of the artists and illustrators I used to follow on Twitter here on Bluesky.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

The color of the sky during and after a big snow storm is a favorite childhood memory of mine, along with the silence of the snow

The trailer had me hooked just from the stellar font choice alone. Film was atmospheric, incredible set, costume, and makeup design, along with all the attention to detail that we know and love from Guillermo Del Toro. Also Mia Goth and her insect-inspired looks were *chef’s kiss*

Raindrops on Roses now send me your cat.
Partially open red rose who has already seen some shit stands before a finger painting of a rose garden. Closeup of part of a pink rose holding onto a raindrop that is about to fall, but not before it sees and reflects the entire garden. Orange rose drenched in rain, possibly regretting its decision to open, but it’s not like it can just go back now. Bokeh light background. Partially open yet already wilting orange rose drenched in raindrops, trying to convince herself that the rain will only make her stronger, although right now she does not feel very strong.

Bistro Bouquet in downtown Hiroshima. Low lighting, tea light candles, atmosphere-appropriate music nailed the vibe and the food and wine were also incredible! Bit pricey (but what isn’t nowadays?) so definitely more of a treat than a regular place to go. Details in the alt!
Huge salad topped with apples mixed with creamy blue cheese and topped with toasty nuts Oyster stew that felt more like a gratin with the crunchy bread bits on top; the spinach was perfection Duck confit because how could you not? I restrained myself from gnawing on the bone but it was not easy Tart raspberry sorbet atop chocolate terrine and a pinch of cacao nibs

This girl is a very special bird because she is the first kingfisher that I managed to find and track by myself. (Usually I just find and track the ojisans with massive lenses and tripods who will eventually lead me to her.) Please love her, she is the size of your thumb.
Kingfisher perched on the edge of a stone lantern in Sumida park yesterday. Orange breast, an adorable little spotted head, long ass beak for murdering things, and a florescent blue stripe cascading down her back like a waterfall. She knows very well how loved she is.

Was given the chance to review a snack box from Sakuraco — new experience for me, but as an avid reader of Sporked.com , it felt like a great opportunity to channel my inner food reviewer!

Burgundy box with gold foil cherry blossom and cherry tree illustrations on a (admittedly wrinkly) plaid pattern table runner Apple pie in plastic packaging atop an article about the confectioner that made it against the (still wrinkly) plaid table runner Small pile of little mochi dango on a shippō patterned small earthenware plate next to various cookies on a white plate and (sigh) wrinkly plaid table runner Small plate loaded with rice crackers and fried nori snack bits and more rice crackers, oh my! Atop the (you guessed it!) wrinkled plaid table runner

Who wore the puddle better?
Tokyo Tower and part of zozoji temple reflected in a puddle with a blue sky and white clouds and some building, probably owned by the Mori family, given the ku were in. It’s ok to like it. I will forgive you. Tokyo Skytree not lit for the night yet reflected in a puddle by a river along with a spectacular sunset, so there is no need for man-made color this time.

I’ll never stop being blown away…
Sunset over Mt Fuji last night. From Tokyo. The city is dark, the sky is spectacular. There are 2 tiny airplanes in the sky above the mountain that look like toys.
