River Grass

Along the Tamagawa River

The Tamagawa is a major river in Central Japan.

Angie and I used to live a few blocks away from the river, in Tachikawa, a city west of Tokyo.

We played volleyball there, rode bikes, and even swam a couple times. Mostly, we - like most of the folks there - just relaxed, enjoying the fresh air and views of Mount Fuji.

These are wild grasses that grow along the riverside. They rustle in the summer breeze, somehow making the humidity feel just a little less oppressive.
