Wakayama Japan's Okuna-in with its approach to The Founding Monk Kobodaishi's mausoleum.
Below pictured are massive Japanese Cedar Trees that stand as high as 165 feet and are up to 600 years old. Among those trees is located the mausoleum of the second son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was born as Tokugawa Ogimaru in 1574 and died in 1607. Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan and his descendants ruled Japan until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The son entombed here would have been Ieyasu's successor but for having been adopted out in a political arrangement, as the first son had been ordered to commit seppuku for political reasons. The third son actually became the succesor.
Other pictured memorials of unique interest include one with a rocket honoring those who built armaments and one dedicated to Japanese photographers.
As to the monk Kobodaishi who founded the surrounding temple complex, photographs of his mausoleum are restricted as it is believed that he continues to live and meals are set our for him each day.
An old 1930's John Deere stationary hay baler on my property in west Texas that originally belonged to my great, great grandfather. He parked it there in the late 40's, and it has sat in the same spot since. I used to play on it as a kid.

Obviously photoshopped but I wonder how many pots each woman was actually carrying. I'm guessing two or three at the most.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I'm giving up on spring and going to put the Christmas tree back up.
My silver cup commission has been completed, it just arrived today at the retailers shop and these are his pictures:
