Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2019 by HakusanCreation

Naomi, Hikari, and I wish you a wonderful and prosperous new year!

We have been busy with preparing for a new adventure and so have not been able to post for a while. Our life has taken us to Kansas City, Missouri. We started this blog when we were living in rural Maine, sharing our life on five acres of woodland as well as previous adventures in Japan and the US. We spent a wonderful year in Florida before arriving here. We hope you will continue to share our adventures as we explore this new place.

Farewell to Florida

Naomi and I have had a wonderful year in the Sunshine State, also known as the land of the mouse—Disney World in Orlando is actually where that mouse-shaped cloud is. Please visit us again to see where our adventure takes us next. Click on the image for a larger view.

Summer Storm

Posted on August 22, 2018 by HakusanCreation

Storms form quickly in Florida. The day can seem very calm with blue skies and puffy white clouds. Those clouds can develop into thunderheads in a matter of minutes. The rain from these systems can be equally unexpected and violent. Click on the image for a larger view.

Protect Sea Turtles

Posted on August 5, 2018 by HakusanCreation

Sea turtles have been nesting in Florida for a very long time, well before humans used these beaches. Nesting sites are marked out to reduce the impacts on these endangered animals from those seeking out the sun and water. Unfortunately, our impact is not limited to these sandy shores. Fishing and pollution are taking a huge toll. Click on the image for a larger view.
