Fumie is in the thick for preparations for her fall ballet recital, but\nshe took a rare<\/span> day off on Sunday for an outing up to the Sanzen-in Temple\n(\u4e09\u5343\u9662),<\/span> half an hour's drive to the mountains north-east of Kyoto. She particularly<\/span> wanted to see the hydrangea they're somewhat known for, and\nsince they were having a “hydrangea festival” (\u3042\u3058\u3055\u3044\u796d),<\/span> the timing\nseemed fortuitous.<\/p>\n\n

Anthony got a pre-visit snack of mitarash\ndango<\/i><\/a> at a shop<\/span> just outside the entrance...<\/p>\n\n

He couldn't eat them all, but the sauce is a bit<\/span> too sweet for my taste, so we formed a symbiotic<\/span> relationship whereby\nI ate<\/span> the remaining dango<\/i> after he had licked the sauce off.<\/p>\n\n

There was a steady light rain and I was<\/span> concentrating on family more than the camera anyway, so I didn't<\/span> even bother with pictures\nof the main garden. Some can be seen in posts from prior visits, here<\/a> and\nhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Still, plenty of photographic opportunities presented themselves during our stroll, many of which seem enjoyable\nas desktop-backgrounds, just like these from my first visit<\/a> a couple<\/span> of years ago...<\/p>\n\n
