Dolls from Japan – 1978
These lovely dolls were handmade for us while we were living in Japan between 1977 and 1980. A wonderful artist came to our home and we helped “design” the dolls we wanted.
Specifically, we lived in a Western-style home in Honmoku, Naka-ku, Kanagawa Prefecture – just south of Yokohama City proper.
The artistry and attention to detail are amazing.
Thanks for stopping by!

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach
Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.
Celebrating Black History Month here on Amelia Island.

This large film is well suited to photography at parties and other gatherings. Everybody’s facial expressions are clearly shown.

The accompanying close-up lens expands the range of photo shooting.
Many easy-to-use functions
- “Automatic flash for low-light shooting” optimizes the luminescence in accordance with the distance.
- Use backlighting to enhance your photos thanks to the “Fill-in flash by flash-on button.”

Improved ease of use as a camera
Various ways to enjoy instax wide prints
A sample gallery –
The camera and the Instax film really shine when used outdoors under full sunlight. Focus on infinity and hold the camera very still. I believe the ISO of the film is 800.
Also available is Instax Wide Monochrome film at the same ISO.

Tour Guide – Amelia Island Beach 2.8.18
It’s been a very rough 6 months or so here on Amelia Island – a tropical storm passed nearby and 2 early nor’easters have wrecked havoc on our normally pristine beaches. Our tour today will show us some of the preparations underway for a large-scale beach replenishment project – moving sand from point A to B, C, D, and F.
Just lookin’ for a little peace.
Dredging and then the pumping of sand on to the beach is expected to start around March 1st. Lots of heavy machinery, pipes, and whatnot over the next 2-3 months. When they’re done our beach will be ready for whatever nature has in store this hurricane season.
Submitted for consideration for the Weekly Photo Challenge – Tour Guide
Thanks, Chris

Early Blooming Poinsettia
Here’s a poinsettia that we’ve had in our window garden for about 2 years now and this is the earliest it has ever bloomed. We say early because it should bloom late spring to mid fall here in Florida. The variety is “Red Glitter”.
We’ve done nothing special with the plant – no hiding it away in a closet. It sits in full sunlight in a northwest facing window. What a pretty plant!
