although i've never been there, the devastating earthquake & tsunami in japan made me think about how much i feel a connection to that country. they seem to like things just so and i like that, too. watching the videos seems unreal. carefully tended farm land destroyed in the blink of an eye, entire trains missing and a death toll that is rising. now, they have to try and avert a nuclear disaster.
people often think our last name is japanese (or native american). our favorite restaurant is japanese. our car is japanese. my hairstylist is japanese and doesn't speak much english so we look a photos and nod, a lot. and, japanese books are the only ones i own in a language i can't read. we're definitely thinking about all things japanese these days and saying a few prayers. shiawasena shūmatsu (happy weekend).

A lovely post, Cindy.
I'm hoping for a safe weekend for everyone out there...
sweet Cindy!!
I was just thinking about the same thing. The fact that they are so meticulous and everything is so cute and done in an eye candy way. So sad to see their country in this kind of pain :(
That is one asian culture that I truly admire, and I hope nothing but the best for them in repairing their lives.
So, what is the origin of your last name?
sure ... it's a czech name.
maybe this is a stupid question- what IS your last name?
Beautiful, dainty photographs. My heart is broken over all the devastation and loss in a country I love so much. Much sadness and sorrow.
krikawa!
so sad, and so scary.
duh! I knew that... where did my mind go?!
