| Another small procession today - just one float and a pipe band! |
 |
| View from the top of the tourist informataion office block at Asakusa....and it is windy at the top! |

| Another dragon photo - just look at th chap on the left - glarey-scarey-or what! |
 | |
| Visted Edo Shitamachi traditional craft museum today. |
 |
| Thought the taxi looked like something from an Amrican movie! Look at the buiding shapes in the background. |
 |
| And this is th view 180 degrees in othr direction. |
 |
| Toyko Sky tower which the brave can ascend, but I am not that brave! |
 |
| Lunch being prepared. |
 |
| This is the equivalent of a keep left sign! |
 |
| The Ueno boxwood shop htat I had purposely gone to - but forgot that it is Sunday and Boxwood-san is obviously having a rest today!! Will rturn on Wednesday. |

| The Lotus leaves at the Shinobazu pond, Ueno. They are big! |
 |
| and quite untidy looking. |
 |
| LBJ tweeting and beign fed in spite of all the signs! |
 | |
| It seemed that the local elderly gnts came armed with bags of food balls to feed the irds by hand. I had to hold out my hand btu can't take photo at same time!! Birds have sharp little claws and a strong grip. |
 |
| This couple were watchign the bird feeding but didn't want to join in! |
 |
| Close up of the lotus leaf pagoda - a bit wonky! |
 |
| The seagulls were dive bombing the locals who had just come along to take the air. The boating lake was vry busy. |
 |
| Check out the pocket! Taking your dog for a walk, trndy teenager style! |
 |
| Now can you see they are big leaves! |
 |
| This is part of the Japanese garden at Kyu-Iwasaki-tei gardens. The bag is 90% lawn with just trees and shrubbery around the periphery. The English influence! Inside the house was the most amazing gold leaf embossed hand made wallpaper - look it up if you want to know what it was like as you were forbidden from taking photos in the house! |
 |
| Still in the shrubbery! |
 |
| And almost at the end! |
 |
| View from the side at the back of the house - will be better with a bit of enhancing! |
 |
| Now somewhere is the station - just follow the people! |
 |
| DVD's foe sale 3 for Y900!! No interest shown by passers by - no surprise there! |
Glad to see you're managing to post pictures. Loved the bird in the craft museum. I think there was mizuhiki in there as well as braids.
