Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

 "Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished  there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again."
 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

I really like the way you've presented this,Akemi.Strong graphic lines,minimal color palette...and has a quiet 'Zen-ness' to it...I guess what I'm trying to say,is it's elegant and wonderfully subtle.And I like that very much...A lovely piece of work,from photo to frame...All the best to you,my friend.Hope you have a wonderful weekend.-M :^)

I would never take this out in the rain, it is far to valuable and beautiful. Gorgeously composed shot and as a fan of things with an oriental flair, I give you TWO THUMBS UP on this one! Arigato!

Love the presentation. Yes, I saw a documentary on how they make these Kasa. The artisans are terrific. You don't know how much work actually goes into making one of these. Glad you have such a great memento. Aloha
