So, last weekend I did a great shoot with Sandi. We spent some daylight hours in my beloved, lush, flowery spring garden. This is one of the photos. The following day, the rains returned as this is, indeed, the wet season. Tokyo is SOGGY as hell in May/June. And then...

I came on on Tuesday afternoon to this devastating scene. It is an annual event. I hate it more each time. My beloved garden gets gutted beyond recognition over a 2 day period. All I could do is sit inside with my camera and record the evil event. Drink coffee. Frown a lot. Listen to really sad music. Mourn my garden.

Do plants cry? I think I can hear them wailing in this picture.
