I got to spend some time with friends over the weekend up in north Miami.  The windows spoke stories of the ever changing neighborhood.  The changes that happen slowly but sneak up on you and bite you when you are not paying attention.  Special shouts go to Brian and Naya.

Brimstone127 and I went over to hook up with the Brass King at Above Ground Music Studio for a rehearsal for an upcoming gig in two weeks or so.  It was fab to hook up with the Brass King and chill in a studio surrounded by all things hip hop including wall to wall vinyl.  Good word sound vibrations for all.

Got to see some good vibes being dropped on the Wheels of Fire by Brimstone127, and hosted by the first lady of Miami Culture, Soulflower.  We had a fire pit going keeping us all warm until the vibes lifted up our collective temperatures.

I spent my first day running around the North end of Miami with my brother.  Fighting off the jet lag, I managed to get a few clicks in.

Today is lovely.  It actually hints at being spring.  The air is warm and full of pollen making me sneeze.  The windows are open letting in the slight breeze.  So before I get on  flight across the ocean blue back to my hometown of Miami, I thought it best to post the rain, so to avoid it later.

So, rain rain go away.

For I got to go away.

These most likely will be my last clicks before landing back in my home town of Miami.  The weather has been warming a bit and strolling about on a monday afternoon was rather nice.  So these are a few random fragments from that day.

From a brief stroll between Urayasu and Minami Gyotoku. The sun was out, and I walked on the sunny side of the street.

As I was staring out the window of the Mr. Donuts in Urayasu the other day, my eye was drawn to three signs warning people not to park bicycles there.  As I was a bit under the weather, I felt the sighs morph in front of my eyes, and I noticed that each sign had been scribbled on or altered in some way.

Three lovely blue squares just waiting to be noticed.  Hey You!!  Look at me!!

Every so often it is good to take a few step backs and let the world envelope you.  I get bundled up in my own little world I forget just how big the world of Tokyo actually is.  It is so hard to describe.  The endless waves of concrete and steel that stretch to the horizon.  So, today is a day of contrasts.  The Wide and the Macro.

I needed to get out of the house today so I just took a stroll around the neighborhood.  The air was icy with reports of snow later tonight.  Walking around my gray neighborhood looking for what I have a look for what I haven’t really seen before.  Snap, snap, and walk walk that is what I do best.
