As you can see here, on 20 May, we had sunshine after nine successive days (this is unusual: it's not the rainy season yet).

Tokyo, Japan.

The wind was so strong, the cloud moved so fast. The last three pics are continuously shot (2 seconds).

The colour of this pic is a bit too strong...

(See notes.)

14 days x umbrella, 4 full days x cloud, 6.5 days x sun... This is our May weather so far. And 1st May was hot and humid, like summer (look at the temperature: my neighbourhood was almost 30 degrees). This is unusual,actually, and there's a report that Weather hits veggie prices / Lack of sunlight blamed for rising price of greens. :(

Detail of the previous pic (with a bit more focus).

Initially, she thought it was okay as she was. But somebody claimed she was not recognisable as "a female" because there was no red (a colour that stands for "female"), and that it was not user-friendly. Thus, she was forced to wear a nice red skirt.

In time, she might be painted all red with this felt-tip marker (this pen isn't made for "painting" but "drawing").

A customer toilet sign. Tokyo, Japan.

I feel really sorry for the designer. *sigh*

Sorry it's blurred, but I couldn't fire the flash because it was just outside the toilet. (I didn't want to look very suspicious!)
