Spring Maple in Moto-Azabu

This morning, the family was my children's elementary school annual family flea market. I have been borrowing my co-worker's Nikon D800 and used it along with my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF to take photos of my son's taiko performance. None of the taiko photos struck me as exceptional, but this shot of a beautiful Japanese maple tree at the entrance to the school caught my fancy.

Hawaii for the holidays

The family spent New Years in Honolulu this year. I didn't take any touristy snaps to add the blog, but I did like this photo of a large tree in the Honolulu Zoo.
