Tom and I spent a beautiful, sunny day on a photographic mission to Dianzenji temple.  It was a great day out, and it was good to go back to Dianzenji.  When we went there with the FJET crowd for Zazen meditation we didn't have time to go up to the old mausoleum...but today we did...we braved the mosquitoes and hiked up the hill.  It wasn't far and was well worth it!  Got some great shots!*

If you think my sunglasses look a bit odd, it's because

I dropped them out of the basket of my bike yesterday.

Three times.  Oops.
