Birds

You see ducks along river and occasionally small black birds with white undersides. I was walking along the river the other day and I saw a large white bird flying low over the water, a crane I thought (though it may have been a heron). The crane is part of Japanese culture, so it was a rare moment. A beauty to enjoy. 

Today I was standing in a classroom while my JTE taught. Two blackbirds were circling, swooping, reveling in the openness.
