End of my walk

 This is very typical of Japanese neighborhoods. The new house is next to an old concrete block shed.
 I turned around and saw some interesting flowers next to the stream. This entire group of blossoms was less than an inch in diameter. The individual blossoms were extremely small.
 Back to the concrete shed, there was another typical feature of Japanese neighborhoods. Almost any empty space is likely to be turned into a flower garden.
 This is another typical feature, a two story wooden apartment building with six apartments in front of a large ferroconcrete building containing around 30 apartments.
Do you remember the various pictures I have posted of the garden next to my apartment? It is very organized with long straight rows of vegetables and nothing laying around. Well, this is more typical of small farms. Small beds of vegetables with all sorts of buckets and pails and bags of fertilizer laying around, definitely not as pleasing to the eye.
