Jam Packed

Doesn't this look like a bunch of little boxes squished together?

It's actually a part of Shinjuku with a mix of houses, apartments, and office buildings and also schools here and there. And smack in the middle is a river flowing through.

If you look closely, you can also see that some of the roof tops still have the snow from yesterday. It was a glorious morning today with snow glittering everywhere. There were also a lot of people slipping and sliding down the sidewalk. Couldn't help laughing!

Hope you're day was filled with laughter, too!

Winters Night

The day started out cloudy, then rainy...but by night it was (drum roll please...) snowing!!!

I've been mumbling and grumbling about how if it was going to be this cold, it might as well snow. Well, someone must have heard me because it really did snow. We don't often get snow like this in Shinjuku so I'm kinda excited, in case you couldn't tell!

And what is the point of having snow if you aren't going to make a snowman?

Cold Cold Rain

Hi friends! How are you?

It's been raining a lot here in Shinjuku. I like rain in the summer but not this cold rain in the winter. It has me shivering every time I step outside.

I'll be posting a couple of black and white photos this week because everything looks kind of blah in color. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

Where To?

Just a random sign I saw the other day.

I'm guessing it's French (because anything I can't read or pronounce is usually French). Made me curious to see where or what it was pointing to.

Oh So Blue

The sky is a gorgeous blue today.

I'm kinda a boo-hoo blue. The great thing is, I think I've FINALLY gotten over my holiday break and am ready to get back into the groove of things. (And yes, I have been back at work for over a week already...but, you know.) The boo-hoo thing is, my groove came back just in time for my super busy couple of weeks that are going to be crazy. So my posts may be kind of sporadic.

But I'm just very thankful that I actually have a job that keeps me busy. I just heard on the news that many of the people who lost their jobs last year in the earthquake and tsunami up north may not be able to continue to receive unemployment payments any more. So that means, no jobs and no support while they try to rebuild their lives. They must have so much to worry about.

So I'm really thankful I'm so busy. Especially with the sky is so blue.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy looking at more beautiful skies all around the world here.
