I was awake before the sunrise on that morning. Looking out to the sky, I thought of making a slide show. And that's it.

A sticker for a dog owner to show the dog is registered.

If you are interested in kanji (漢字), I reccomend this page:
portal.nifty.com/2006/04/15/c/

There you can see ”つぎへ >" at the bottom right just below a picture. Click on it nine times, they explain how the 犬 letter was born.

But after you see the 犬, basically it's all jokes. The author says "If a dog is represented in this way, how about a cat? A giraff?"

Not tinted. It was a cloudy evening but the sticker is the same the one below (in March 2006).

The red has gone after one and a half years.

A cat enjoying a peaceful moment

One evening in my neighbourhood. While human beings were busy, she was really really motionless. I said "Hello," and she replied "Meaow". I put out my finger and she sniffed it. I stroke her forehead. And she was motionless. I took out my camera. And she was motionless. Then, the moment I was pressing the shutter button, she moved just a little bit. That's why this picture is slightly out of focus.

After I took this picture, she got up. I said "Sorry I have disturbed you." She said nothing. She stretched, and took two or three steps, and sat down at my feet. Thus came the next picture.
