August 21, 2021 It seems Japan is going through another rainy season with very heavy torrential rains, for one week straight last week. Like the monsoon season in India! I haven’t had the chance to get out all that much because of it, but last Sunday the weather was partly sunny in the morning, so I took a walk around Yamagami Lake. Not that much bird activity, so I just focused on some flowers blooming after the heavy rains, and the small rill that ran along the road that had turned into a torrent.
I also went to Hado Cape in Saga prefecture a few nights ago to photograph the Andromeda galaxy again. It has pretty dark skies (Bortle class 4) but I had to deal with light from the waxing moon. When it finally set, clouds had rolled in, but not before I took some light frames, along with calibration frames. This time in raw format! It came out a little better than the first time, but I must try again with no moon next month.
Finally, a little friend.(❁´◡`❁)
MOSTLY BIRDS 
Andromeda Galaxy – Only 52,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. I’m planning a trip there. Any takers?
Nice photos of the flora and fauna. Beautiful palate of colors!
