#Sky Watch Friday: June 18, 2021
I got up a little later than usual this morning, but I went for a walk anyway, partly because I wanted to take a picture for Skywatch Friday. 😀 I went to the place we call 'the island," between two rivers. There is a short bridge connecting the 'main land' and the 'island.' (I should have taken a photo.) On the island is a gravel pit, and a lot of vegetable gardens. I haven't explored the entire 'island' yet.

#Six-Sentence Story: Remnant
I clicked on the wrong button in the wrong web site carelessly, which caused my personal computer a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, I didn't press more buttons in the fake virus alert screens that subsequently began to appear one after another, because I instinctively knew that they were dangerous traps.

#Sky Watch Friday: June 11, 2021
Walking along the Uchi-kawa River early in the morning, I heard a number of bullfrogs croaking for the first time this year. Though I heard them, I didn't see them.
The photos above were taken near the small park by the river.

#Ten Things of Thankful: June 5, 2021
