Super Yosakoi Festival 2012

I'm not sure if it was worth the time and the travel... It's simply not my kind of festival. Don't know why though. I usually enjoy colorful things whatever they are...

Cicada (Minmin Zemi)


Hi there!
This kind was very very rare in Nagasaki when I was a kid but it's very common in Tokyo. Having an armor plate over the belly, this guy is a male.


Deodorizing Beads


The worst thing to drop on the floor. 50mm lens cannot capture even the half of the disaster.

Cicada

4 o'clock in the morning
8 hours later
It was she and went back to her world. The other guy didn't make it :(

Rescuing Cicadas

Found them on the ground during a night walk in Inokashira park. There were so many nymphs stomped to death.

 I'm afraid this guy won't make it... It was too late when I found it.

Nini-zemi
 The tiniest kind you can find in Tokyo. I think this one is dying. No more strength to fly.

This guy should be ok.

Tokyo View from Shibuya InfosTower

Evo's camera doesn't do it justice. The actual view is much better. The red and white tower structure in the center  (little left) is Tokyo Tower. It looks much closer and not even blurry to human eyes.

Mandarin Duck Shedding Feathers

Didn't know they shed feathers. A picture from April 2010 for comparison.

I used to take many pictures of flowers...

I guess birds also age.
