Vicki’s Views April and May

Once in awhile we like to take a break from news and lessons and show the beauty that
is all around us here in Hokkaido. We hope you can enjoy a brief glimpse from Vicki’s point of view!

The Island of Rishiri right off our coast, the spit of land that separates the Japan Sea from the Teshio River running into the Sea here.

We live on the west side of Hokkaido so have our sea sunsets. Never tire of them.

Siberian Swans go north to Russia in the spring and then back to southern Japan for the winter. They gather for a rest and feeding about an hour from Teshio so went to see them this year.

Ken had his cataracts taken out in a city about 3 1/2 hours from Teshio. So I had a chance to take scenic photos in the area.

Love the rich looking earth contrast with all the spring greens and new plants

Rice paddies at sunset

Many rice paddies and very little space from the house to the paddy

getting ready to see the sunset and the super moon/eclipse

On the way to a viewpoint – roller coaster road

The super moon started to come up but unfortunately there were clouds up over the mountains. That was all we could see of it.

And the eclipse started but the moon soon disappeared right after we got this photo.
