Winter is fairly blah in Kyoto, color\/nature-wise. Kyoto is\nglorious<\/b> in\nautumn<\/a> and glorious<\/b> during cherry-blossom\nseason<\/a>, hellatiously hot and humid in summer, and blah in winter. But one thing<\/span> it has in winter are red berries of all sorts.<\/p>\n\n

While walking back from the shrine-closing ceremony<\/a> in\nmid-November, I noticed<\/span> some berries growing wild by a small<\/span> river...<\/p>\n\n

Now that I think about it, I posted<\/span> some red berries<\/a> last year as well.<\/p>\n\n

Anyway, I wanted<\/span> to end the year with something colorful. We'll be\nspending the New Year on an\nisland in the south of Japan<\/a>, so I'll not be posting for the next\nweek.<\/p>\n\n

My blog this year rounds out with 330 posts, of which 289 had photos\n(1,768 photos: see the index\nof photos appearing in 2007<\/a> to browse them). It'll be interesting to\nsee what next year holds...<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
