Summer Festival

After returning to Japan from our stay in America, we went to the last summer festival in town.
Unfortunately, the camera somehow got set to the lowest quality recording level so the sound is poor and no HD on this one.

楽しく!!

I used to catch cicadas all the time when I was little too!! I would even go around looking for their shells on all the trees! I'm glad to know I'm not the only brave girl who's adventurous enough to catch all sorts of bugs!

Nina-chan looks so beautiful in her yukata and matching hana kanzashi ♥

Beautiful upload geof, I still think your photos and videos are the best!

[geofg]

@zeroarashi Yeah, I grew up catching cicadas too, so it's great to be able to relive that experience through Nina's eyes. Nice to hear from you! Hope you are doing well!

Hello Papa Geofg!

I want to start off by saying that Nina is a beautiful and amazing child. :) Her Kimono and hairclip were very pretty as well. :D Nina gets me very inspired for my future, which I wish to be a Japanese Interpreter. I love when you post videos like these with festivals and fun things because it makes me that more excited to hopefully live there when I'm out of high school. Nina looks so happy with her family and life and it's amazing to see :) You guys are an amazing family. :)

@FantasyChibimoon Thanks! Good luck in getting to Japan one day!

I am wondering where you studied photography and editing.

I think your pictures are well composed.

[geofg]

@forrena Thanks! I haven't taken classes, but have just been taking pictures for many years.

@qendu I just grabbed the cicada off the tree. Nina LOVES them! If they are too high for her to reach, she just says, "Papa, get that cicada!" And, if I miss one and it flies away, she gets mad at me. ha ha

And, yeah, summer festivals with taiko drummers and dancers in yukata are one of my favorite things about Japan.

Nina looks to cute in her yukata and hair thing! ^^

I hope I can teach my child to like bugs someday, too. Only, I'm afraid of the ones that bite! In Texas I know the only poisonous spiders, but I don't know about any that bite! So while I'm here in Japan, I'm always afraid "Is this insect going to hurt me?"

Oh Bless your lil heart Nina and bless your wonderful parents who are doing a brilliant job raising you. love from Dubai.

[huahahhh]

I'm always amazed by your photos, too! Wow they always come out looking perfect.

She was very beautiful with yukata! It suits her very well.

I love the video, except the caterpillars one (I have a phobia about caterpillars :s)

Keep making video & good pics geof! It really made someone's day :)

Dad, you make the best videos of Nina. Great quality and fun to watch. She puts a smile in my heart. Give her a big hug.
