A first taste of snow

Kaika and snow, January 21, 2006: click for gallery

Today we got our first, and perhaps only, snowfall of the winter in the Tokyo area. This was really Kaika’s first time out in the snow (he had a cold when it snowed last year). At first he couldn’t deal with the flakes landing on his tongue and on his eyelashes, but he quickly warmed up to the whole idea once I showed him you could throw the stuff. Not surprisingly, 30 minutes later it was hard to get him to go back into the house.

He looks adorable yet slightly suspicious of the snow at the same time. Very cute!

Nice shot. Was there enough for a snowman? My daughter is furious that there isn’t snow for snowmen any more.

this has nothing to do with your current post, but are you aware that your link to “bymyeyes.com” under “Other Personal Views from Japan” is now an “adult content” website who’s motto is “friends with benefits”? just thought yah’d like to know

i envy you…
