The best thing about #RainyDay walks is not seeing any other humans around 👍

Red-winged blackbird - really hates me 🥲 He is staring at me in all snapshots from a short video I took yesterday 😓

I realized that our walnut tree, which stands tall at the corner of our small backyard, is quite magnificent 😮

Baby Robins, almost ready to take off from our porch 🥳
Sorry, just one picture, and I won’t bother you anymore.
Last year, we had Mourning doves, this year, Robins 😊

My daughter made some jokes 😂
Mom, brother and herself got eggs on the toast, but dad got dried anchovies 😉 I am a pescatarian 🐟
This breakfast is actually nutritionally well balanced 😊

Yellow iris - invasive but beautiful in the wetland of the woods

Many trail sections are muddy and wet, but it's nice to discover these flowers in the middle of the wood - invasive species, though 🤔

Ithan Creek, PA

I love this small waterfall, about 5-foot tall. When the temperature is high, I see people bathing here 😊
So, first come, first served 😉
Last Thursday, I lost to several teenagers on a warm day, but I was the only one on Saturday because it was pretty cold 😊

The picture is from Saturday.

Wetland in the woods

Very humid evening with a lot of bugs flying around, but I like this place 😊 No fish, but a lot of frogs 😉

A log boardwalk in the wetland

The trail was mostly muddy with a lot of water. I was wearing fishing waders, but the log footsteps in this section were still intact 😊

Muddy trail in the woods

Arriving at a local creek this evening, I discovered that I forgot fishing lines and also premade fishing rigs 😭 So, I just decided to take a walk in the woods 😊 I didn’t forget fishing waders, so, I had no problem walking such trails 😉 BTW, this is a designated trail, which I usually avoid because it very muddy and wet 😊

Hay Creek, PA

I did not see anybody on trails, but I saw some people fishing this creek during rain yesterday. I guess it was recently stocked with trout 🤔 Fishing was not my primary focus - I came here for walking in the woods although I had a fly rod with me 😉

Eastern Box Turtle

Found on a trail in Birdsboro Waters today. Looks like its number is declining. Listed as vulnerable.

Kepner Creek, PA

I had 90 minutes while my son was in soccer practice. It took 30 minutes to get to this area, and I needed 30 minutes to get back to the soccer field, so only 30 minutes or less to explore and fish. I felt like I was just driving because I also needed to drive between the soccer field and home 🤔

At some point, I should spend more time exploring this creek 🤔

I drove a lot this weekend. Soccer, fishing, soccer, and soccer…

I also gave my daughter driving lessons - although I myself didn’t drive, I felt like I drove a car for five hours non stop 🙃

Still, nice to see the sunset while watching my kid to play soccer 😊

Passaic River, NJ

Drove about two hours for my son’s away soccer game and found a nice looking river in back of the soccer field. I should buy NJ fishing license as he got more games in NJ🤔

Looks like Pike and Smallmouth are abundant 😊

Darby Creek Valley Park, PA

Arriving at my usual spot, I realized that I forgot my tenkara rod 😭
Although I really wanted to do tenkara, my feeling quickly recovered because I got a backup fly rod and reel in my car 😊 I also rediscovered the quality of this rod 😉 I don’t get to use this setup that much unless I forget or break my main rod for the day 🤔

The day after the trout opening day - 3😊

Beaver Creek, PA

Driving 50 minutes (one way) to Downingtown/Thorndale area for my son’s soccer training session today. But as long as I get to see such a nice creek nearby, I am completely OK with that 😉

I spent about an hour checking this creek, now I kind of know what to do with this creek 😊

Today - it’s been 24 years since we came to the US 😊

We did not plan to stay. Our plan was to spend just a few years in San Diego and move back to Japan. Not sure what happened, but we are still in this country, currently in the Philly area 🤔

In the meantime, I am enjoying this local IPA, very well balanced, highly recommended 😋

In Japan, we call this “Hotchkiss”😊
The first stapler imported to Japan was made by this company 😉

My wife and I were talking about household items that we have been using for a long time on a regular basis. I got a 45 years old toolkit and 40 years old nail clipper 😉 But she has been using this Hotchkiss for 40 years 😊
