Spotted a new visitor this morning as an Eastern Wood-Pewee came around to eat some of our flying insects.

Mt. Fuji from street in Ninomiya, Japan

@davidrmunson reminded me of an October day in Japan when the weather cleared enough to see Mt. Fuji from our apartment. I was so excited that I ran down the street in my pj’s to capture the moment. Having this photo now is more important than neighbors disapproving looks then.
