I had the best time taking these pictures and really excited about how they turned out after editing them. Mark & Rylan drove Hunter, Joshua, Hailey, & myself around the area over by our church on Saturday. I had scouted out this area the week before so I kinda knew what I wanted to do. So, I would tell Mark where we needed to go, he'd drive us & we would quickly jump out the car and the kids would make the hike with me. The shot I took of the train, we were at the top of the Buddhist temple when I got that. You can get an idea of our perspective by looking at picture #2 with the stairs. After hanging out there for a bit, we went down the valley and across to the overpass of the train station. It was at the overpass I got the last picture and we waited around for another train to come back around the bend to get a different perspective. Just about the time it came, my battery died on my camera. I was really bummed...so I told the kids we would come back another day with the tripod, set up shop, & stake out the "train". This really is a pretty area of Misawa. I am so glad I captured these pictures. Since they turned out so well, I'm thinking about putting these on canvas & displaying them in the house somewhere. I'm taking orders for anyone who wants one or all! LOL

Amazing pictures! Will be sure to show the family when they get home today. Love seeing your home and Branch Building. It gives us a sense of life there. Very exciting and pretty cool to see life going on, on the other side of the world! The snow looks cold, but I know you guys love the snow. So have fun and keep exploring. PS.. All is well for school, I start my Masters on Feb. 4th!!!

Looks like yall had a great adventure, if it gets warm there, walking will be a great way to explore the city, your grandpa truax taught all of us that. It is amazing how flat the world has become. Keep up the good work with your photography, cannot believe how the kids have changed since I saw them. Hailey is going to be tall, Hi Stephanie and kids, hope you are enjoying all of these pictures too, isnt your auntie a great photographer. Hugs and kisses to all going to see our grandbaby on friday.

Catching up on my blog notes today. What beautiful pictures Melissa. As I said when you were in Junior High and High School, you are very talented with your hobbies. You will have to put them to work for you. Misawa is very different than I had imagined and so glad you sent the pictures to change my image. Love Mom
