Okay, we continue from July 17th and go through July 23rd (the last photos of the month) on this page. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

  The first 3 shots were taken at Mt. Mitake on July 17th - a spotted campanula, an Indian Pipe and a "Tsukabana".

  In this row all 3 shots are by Kazuya, he's the one who has the gift for being able to take the good Insect pictures, not me. The first shot shows 2 Sawyer Beetles doing something strange. The 2nd shot is a "Tiger's Tail" (translation of Japanese common name) and the 3rd shot is a magnificent shot of a dragonfly.

  All 3 shots here were taken on July 17th when we went to Mt. Hinode (902 meters = 2,959 feet) to camp out. First shot is a nice flower, 2nd shot is a shot of a thunderhead building up off to the west of us (we got a few drops of rain out of it was all) and the 3rd shot is Kazuya on the summit marker.

  The first shot here is me on the Mt. Hinode summit marker. The 2nd shot is a nice cloud off to the EAST at sunset time and the 3rd shot is another nice Kazuya butterfly photo.

  The first 2 shots are sunrise on July 18th. The 3rd shot is yet another dragonfly picture by Kazuya. This shot is amazingly clear!

  The first shot in this row is the entrance of Tsuru-tsuru hot spring, where we went on the way down Mt. Hinode. A very nice hot spring that we have visited before. The next shot is a fireworks frame taken out of a fireworks movie I took. This was on July 23rd within bicycling distance from our house. Obviously we didn't go to the "designated" viewing area - if we had, then there would not be electrical wires in the way! The 3rd item here is a 4.17 MB FIREWORKS MOVIE - think before you click here.
