🌿 I just started a quiet newsletter on Substack.
It’s for things that don’t quite fit into my Medium essays—behind-the-scenes thoughts, seasonal flavors, and quiet stories from rural Japan.

Trail building until the shadows fall on Onishi Park. Today with help from a friend and a visitor who spotted us from their field on the other side of Koshibu River.

The first days back in Japan where truly amazing. One of my first duties was to inspect this newly built fliw trail and guide local residents through a test ride.

A night moon gazing and cloud dreaming. Sound up to hear the beautiful sound of natural life.

月見雲夢の夜。音量を上げて、自然の命の美しい響きを聴こう。

Made her the first bed she’s ever had. She started eating it before I left her house. She attacked me on my way out. I ❤️her though. #japan #rosemaryetbasil #streetphotographer #ruraljapan #chichibu #goats #inakaLife

Persimmons ripening under a pale autumn sky, chestnut rice, followed with a bit of Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

A slow, reflective autumn in the Japanese countryside 🍂👘🐈‍⬛

Whenever you mention Japanese trains everyone immediately says, #Shinkansen! but Japan is covered in 100's Kms of single track railways that have one man operated, single coach trains running regular services.
You mainly see old people & school kids on them.
Lovely way to travel.

Turtles Amok! The local colony like to gather under a bridge over the #HanamigawaRiver. It seems that they were having a party, feeding frenzy, or something else (mating season?). #turtles #reptiles #japanwildlife #iPhone14pro #ChibaPrefecture #RuralJapan
