We took on Ikitsuki Island...
When searching for a fun day out a while back, I came across a photo of a large Buddha Statue holding a basket of fish. Im not sure why exactly I was so drawn to it, but after a little research I completely understood... So a day trip was in the works! We were going to visit Daigyoran Kannon...

I swear, each beach we seem to discover here in Japan is just as, if not more, beautiful then the last... Or maybe its just that we visit them at different times of the day, under different phases of the moon... Or the feeling and present state of mind we are in are unique onto themselves...

The grey skies are always welcome to us here on the Emerald coast... A relief from the almost relentless heat and humidity...

We always joke in our home that she is enough child for anyone to handle...
But here's the truth. She is incredible. She is bold and stubborn, creative and brilliant... She sees all of the colors in this world, the beauty, the pain. She marches to the rock of her own rhythm... She is kind when treated with kindness, and fights hellfire with hellfire...
