  I loved seeing all of these beautiful stray cats receiving some dry food on a cold day.

  This is one of the 88 miniature temples on a mountain path behind Ninna-Ji in Kyoto.
  I stopped momentarily to catch my breath and do this quick sketch of a charming little six sided temple. This is a mini pilgrimage for those who cannot do the real one on Shikoku. It is called Hachiju Hakkasho and is a lovely hike off the beaten tourist path.

  I have always been fascinated by these stone images in Japan. The peaceful faces, the red bibs and the wool hats are so charming. This group sits in the cemetery of a small temple behind the Kyoto Okura Hotel. I visit them twice a year.

  A little map I made of an exquisitely beautiful walk I took in the Sagano district of Arashiyama, Kyoto. It is a preservation district and a little off the beaten tourist path, but well worth the time and effort. I want to do this walk again in the fall season.

  Konpukuji is a temple in Kyoto where I expected to find many cats sunning themselves on the veranda after a rainy day, so I visited on just that kind of day. Only one cat greeter was there for us, but she meowed her greeting right away and led us directly to the entrance fee window. She was extremely affectionate and in desperate need of some petting, so she and I played on the tatami and I took many photos of her. This is a quick drawing of our first glace at her.

  Me napping in a cozy futon on a tatami mat floor listening to heavy rain on the tile roofs behind our rented house in Kyoto. What a lovely experience!
