Let the adventure begin. . . anew everyday. I happened to dust off my midi keyboard (It took several minutes of pounding before the keys stopped sticking.) and ended up a lot more cinematic than I ever am, so I decided to montage videos left over from summer.
毎日の冒険。気まぐれで二年間も使っていなかったキーボードを出して、遊んでみたら、こんな感じになっちゃったので、、、今年の夏の余ってる動画をどうぞ。

I don't offer guided snow hikes, but that isn't to say that I don't like snow. And we've got a whole lot of snow right now! With roads to major trail heads closed, I went for some me-time on a two-day hike to snowy forests.

積雪のガイドは大変=偉いと思いながら、雪の森が美しいですね。いい気分になりました。

Finally a few days of sun? The thick snow drifts are shrinking, and spring is in the air.

所々、雪が深いですが、春の風を感じます！

Yesterday morning. After the typhoon, the forest is so full of good smells!

昨日の朝。台風の後の森は、色んないあ香りがします。
