Japan

I have been shocked and saddened by the events that have unfolded in Japan in the last week with the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami.  I had the opportunity to travel through parts of Japan last year in winter.  Very cold but very beautiful.

I have updated my blog to have an oriental garden appearance in honour of this wonderful country and have included a handful of my favourite photos from this trip.  I am sure that, in time, this country will recover and rebuild and my thoughts are with the people of Japan

The last photo, which I love with the blossom, is my profile photo.

It is international hermit and stitch weekend this weekend.  I intend to work on Baroque and 3 french hens and hope to get a reasonable amount of stitching done.  If interested go to Random Ramblings and join in the fun.  Here is to a weekend of happy stitching.
