Day 28: Japan Day Displays

Well, I am really not doing very well this year. And I had so hoped to do better.


Anyway, I went to the Japan Day at the ASB showgrounds today. There was such a lot going on and some great stalls, displays and performances. There was also lots of great smelling food stalls.


These photos are of 2 of the displays that really caught my eye. There was a display of flower arrangements. The arrangements were interesting and very beautiful. As I walked into the hall, this huge and gorgeous arrangement was straight in front of me and I just had to take a photo. Isn't it gorgeous?











This other photo was of a gorgeous kimono from the Edo Period - I think. I was astounded by the detail and the beauty of it.

Day 1 (45 Days Late): Valentine's Chocolate

They're pink! They're shiny! They're chocolatey! What's not to like?

Time for a New Start

One of these days I'm going to start posting on time, but it's not going to be this year!

I was very disorganised and lacking in inspiration towards the end of last year, and my photos and this blog just kind of got lost along the way. It is my intention to be better this year. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

My photo blog therefore starts 45 days late, which is about the same as last year, so I haven't improved at all I'll try to do better in 2012.
