I'm a dabbling photographer strolling around Osaka and Kyoto with a sense of haiku.
This blog is focusing mostly on Osaka. There's a sibling 'Kyoto Photo Stroll'.

Time of contemplation
Given a tiny fish by a fisherman, this black cat was considering how to deal with it for a while.
熟考の時
釣り師に小魚をもらってからこの黒猫はそれをどうしたものかと暫くの間思案してました。

Solitude
This way...
With no one in sight
Autumn is ending
(Haiku by Basho, Translation by me)
孤独
この道や ゆく人なしに 秋の暮れ (松尾芭蕉)

Lonely girl
Apart from mother tree
With anxiety
Lonely yellow leaf
(Haiku by me)
This picture shows a fallen leaf of a ginkgo tree, which is also called a maidenhair tree. This distinctive leaf is famous for the story that Goethe sent his poem to a woman with two ginkgo leaves.
孤独な少女
こちらは日本ではおなじみの銀杏の葉ですが、他の国では銀杏は「少女の髪の木」と呼ばれることもあるようです。またゲーテが自分の詩にこの葉を二枚添えて女性に送ったことは良く知られています。

準備中
さて、こちらはご近所にある飲み屋の洋子。酔っぱらいにやられたのだろうか看板の角のガムテープが痛々しい。

Blooming shyly
With timidness
