Special Time Together

This morning we took a short bike ride to Kyoto's Nanzen Temple (南禅寺), one of the more famous temples in Japan. I was there just the other day with some friends, and it's been featured in my blog before (such as this Photography of Katsunori Shimada, a few shots from a visit two years ago, and another shot or two by Shimada-san). It's one of those things that's so close that we sort of take it for granted, so most photography I do there still awaits processing. But I liked today images especially, so they jump to the head of the line.

Playing a Game with Mommy

Anthony was a bit fussy at times, so Fumie made up a simple paper-rock-scissors game by which the winner of each round advances some number of steps. In the shot above, Mommy's gotten far out in front of him. By the shot below, he's caught up, and it looks like his scissors is about to beat Fumie's rock.

Looking for Goodies

The first image shown in this post came at about this point. It's a lovely, warm image, so I wanted to open with it.

Just to give a bit of perspective of where they're sitting, here's a view from a bit further back, with them in the lower center:

Great photos of Anthony! My favorite is “I’m here!”, especially when it’s zoomed in on Anthony. Great lighting, sweet kiddo.
