Well that was one thing I was wondering about this morning. Classes start tomorrow, already! The other thing I was marvelling about this morning was the birdsong, the sunshine and the azaleas. Yes, it is azalea time.
That gave me an idea.
Last week, in among the tulips, I incidentally caught the sparrows at the bubbler. I thought I might see what I could find this afternoon on my walk and stretch from the office.
I found the sparrows, I think I'm liking them all the more when I see them. I remember them being very common when I was growing up; not so much now in and around the Brisbane suburbs. But in Tokyo, in the absence of miners and mynahs, invasive and local, to chase them away, they thrive.

| Look! I can fly...oh, hang on |
 |
| Watching |
 |
| Grounded |
 |
| Looking |
 |
| Camouflaged |
 |
| Last gasp |
 |
| Closing out |
 |
| Flat out |
 |
| Last dance |
 |
| Fading |
They might not have performed under the bubbler in quite the way I had hoped, but it was nice, for just a few minutes, to watch their antics.
And the tulips...it is almost time out. Almost. There's a pic or three in them yet.
Happy 100th day, dear reader.
