Paula, they look like tea fields–which Uji is famous for–but upon closer inspection my friends and I realized they were not. I’m not sure what they are, except beautiful.

Steve, I have been reading your updates and glad to see you are ok.

Hi,
The “forms” in the background look like Azalea bushes that the Japanese so beautifully trim here.
