After a morning playdate with Mia at Akabanebashi jidokan, I took Emily to Kyu Shiba Rikyu in the afternoon. On the way in there was a display of huge peonies, some in little straw shelters, and I wished I had taken the camera. Light from the lake was dappling on the underside of trees like nature's mirrorball. There was ice on the surface in places and Emily really enjoyed throwing stones onto it and seeing them scatter across the frozen water with a clatter.
