Weed hacking along the stream

 On another day, I walked along the stream. I am trying to get back in shape after my operation so I tend to walk the same route every day. On this day the grass was being cut.

 One thing that is very noticeable about Japanese workers is that they always wear a safety helmet. Even visitors to a site are required to wear a helmet.

The birds seem very happy with the work, since it has forced all of the small bugs and animals that they eat out into the open.
