shame on you..


Niah was sick for a week. 
He had a bad stomach from eating too much bone,
 Stole Koto's bone and ate it on his own
and 
unwanted accident happend
inside the house on a carpet "three times"
in one week...
I just want to forget about this, but 
please please don't repeat anymore,,
It's been hard week for us.
shame on you!

1週間お腹を壊してたニア、
それは琴の骨を横取りして
独り占めして
食べ過ぎたから。
そして、家の中のカーペットの上で
なんと3度もアクシデントが。。
すぐにでも忘れたい事件,
酷い一週間でした。
骨は月に1度歯磨きの為に与えてますが、
考え直さなければ。。
こればっかりは本当に
これっきりにしてよぉ!

snow circle

















Snow Circles from Beauregard, Steamboat Aerials on Vimeo.


How beautiful is this Earth circle painting on snow!! Drawing by Sonja Hinrichsen
(Pictures from Flickers)
It has been over 35 degrees for entire week in Melbourne, 
and I haven't seen snow for such a long time!  
Absolutely beautiful/ excellent idea :)  I really love it!
雪に広がるサークル。真っ白な雪をキャンバスに
して足跡で描かれた地上絵。 まるで地球に絵を描いたよう。
すばらしアイディアです。
今週は35度以上の日が続いたメルボルン。。
しかも雪なんて一体何年見てないのでしょう〜
見ているだけで涼しくなりました!

New camera arrived

Finally our new camera arrived from Hongkong this morning ! 
here is some photos of our garden colours from one hour ago.
wow.. world looks so much more colourful,  clear and crisp through Nikon camera.
A little too sharp in auto-mode to me.. but movie and high-speed photos are excellent!!  
Very exciting to play around with my new toy :)
注文していたカメラが今朝香港からやっと到着した!ので庭の花を試し撮りしてみました。
何だか全てが極度にカラフルでクリアーでクリスプに感じます。
個人的にはオートモードでの写真が少しシャープ過ぎる と思いましたが
遊びがいのありそうなカメラ!得に映像と連写撮影が素晴らしいですね!

Maddie Standing on things









Wow! I am very inspired by Maddie the coonhound!! 
It is ongoing daily photo-based project about dog and physics!
How much emotion, relationship and drama that Maddie creates, 
just standing on it! And what a great balance Maddie has!!
I want to have some project with my dogs too :)
犬と哲学を基にデイリーベースで今も続いているプロジェクト
マディー ザ クーンハウンド。
素晴らしい発想のプロジェクト!ただ何かの上に立っているだけのマディー、
その物や風景との関係、その環境でのドラマが思い浮かんできます。
 私も私の犬となにかプロジェクトを始めたいな〜♪

Happy Birthday Koto!













4 years ago, Koto was born in Colac farm with another 6 siblings.
She had a name called Seamist Kiera, But I changed to Koto late on. 
She was separate from her working BC mother when she was only 4 weeks old. 
Its sad that it is really happening to working dog environment. 
Then she was adopted to us, who used to lives in the central of Melbourne city,
who used to work 8 hours a day.
She must had a hard puppy life with us.
But we learn quickly how to live with you and we both learn from each other. 
Thank you Koto to create strong bond to us and taught us important 100 things!
Happy birthday Koto!
4年前の今日、コーラックの農場で6匹の兄妹と共に産まれた琴。
名前はキアラと命名されていたのを私が変名しました。
今思うと本当に可哀想な事ですが
産後たった4週間で仕事に戻った母犬と離ればなれにさせられ
その後 全くボーダーコリーの事を知らなかった私達と
車だらけの街の中で暮らし始めた琴ちゃん。
お互いに大変なスタートだったけど 立派な大人になったね。
ハッピーバースディ!

Missing Fireworks

We are still having hot summer days but although, 
starting to feel autumn breeze these days.
During this time of the year, 
Something I really miss in Australia are
Summer festivals and Fireworks!!
Here is some Japanese fireworks videos.
残暑がまだまだ続くメルボルンですが、最近は少し秋風も感じるようになりました。
この時期になると何かやり残したような気分になり、
日本の夏祭りや花火がやけに恋しくなります。 
日本の花火はストーリーがあり、日本の夏を飾る芸術品です。 
"Super Phenix"  2.7km!!!
Biggest fireworks
There is a full story in few second of fireworks, tenseness, excitement, overwelming, 
number of colour chanes with rhythm, synchronization and nostalgia..
My cousin is fireworks engineer, I would love to see his work 
in someday soon in summer festival.

Shallow Inlet camping

 This is where we sleep tonight doggies!
 This is our back yard beach for our weekend!
And where you swim.
Getting ready for fishing our dinner!
  But we changed our mind to eat mussel pasta instead of fish!
Do you like it Koto?!
she sure enjoyed rolling on mud after the swim! 
We swam again and again!!

We camp again at Shallow Inlet, right next to Wilson's promontory, 
in south Gippsland.
I haven't been to most of the beaches in Victoria, but so far,
This is my favorite dog off-lead beach and dog friendly campsite!!
Its just so much space, we can connect with sky and ocean very closely!
Lovely and spacious campsite with mostly good mannered family. 
Toilet is very clean and we have water to clean our dishes and dirty hands :) 
Good Dog friendly Camp site for summer!

sora






Everywhere I go, I see continuous perfect sky(sora) here in Australia.
This is one of the reason I really love living here.
どこに行ってもどこまでも続く完璧な空が見れるオーストラリア。
だから本当に居心地がいいんです。

Noojee Trestle Bridge Walk -bush walking/ bike riding with dogs-




Last weekend, we went to Noojee Treastle Bridge.
It was 34degrees very hot day but riding through 
Fern tree rain forest was sure comfortable to ride bike.
Old Wooden Trestle bridge was very exciting! and had a great view. 
Dogs really loved running next to the bike and walk through the forest,  it and it was nice trialing day. 

最近楽しんでいるレイルトレイルのサイクリング。先週はNoojee Treastle Bridge
というとても古い橋があるトレイルに行ってきました。
この日は34度と真夏日だったのですがレインフォレストの間を自転車で走り抜けて
とっても涼しくなりました!メルボルンから2時間程、暑い日に最適なサイクリングでした。
