Now surely, dear Reader, you are wondering what brought such a one as me outside on such a day? As you can see if you look closely at that picture, it was the old tyrant, Inuki :-). Yours truly in a self-portrait. As it was the first snow and the ground was still warm it was terrible dirty under the snow. A view of the way we walked from the village. Here used to stand a big tree, but it got old and branches were in danger of dropping off. That's why it got cut. But the stump was left standig and made into the shape of a mushroom. It looked kind of cute with the snow on it :-). Some last colors of autumn. Inuki likes the snow. The snow on his nose is the remainder of his just having rolled around in the snow. Santa Claus making his way to the chimney. Another on on the other side. And yet two more. I always guessed there is more than one Santa Claus, else how could he bring all the presents in one night only by himself?
