A whole lot of learning…

happens when you are motivated.

Anton has used YouTube and online tutorials to learn parkour.

In Japan Anton met others who share his interest. Teaching each other moves and copying lines became the lingua franca.

This video is Anton’s first attempt at using Adobe Creative editing software.

It is his interest in this sport that ages us rapidly.

 

Sunday morning walk through the park

Weekend gardening.

A surprise of Tokyo are the moments and abundance of green and growth
Sunday morning walk through Sumida park, parkouring across carefully placed boulders teeming with minnows and water bugs
Imperial gardens of bamboo and cherries and evergreens
Shrines centered by ponds of lotus and  koi and turtles
Clay pots and plastic buckets outside doors and on street corners sprouting flowers and vines,  tiny fish and water lilies
Moss on sidewalks, moss on walls, moss on rocks
