Another Tokyo cow for Amanda
Just another cow picture for Amanda… This time it is a real cow! I spotted this one at Arakawa Amusement Park.

Tokyo Cows
Today’s pictures have nothing to do with Ashland. Sorry. I’m in Tokyo, Japan where these were taken, and today’s photos are really for Amanda, Ashland’s cow lover.
These life-size cattle were spotted in Asakusa (浅草). I think they were in front of a restaurant called Heijoen (平城苑). There was one more steer on the ground, painted gold with a gold dog on his back.
If you look closely at the one above you’ll see a Japanese lady in kimono painted on the cow’s back. Ironically, the building next door included an Animal Hospital and a beauty salon (for your pet).
The lighting of the pyrotechnics
I always assumed that on fancy firework displays a button was pushed and everything went off like a computer program. It appears that each one is being lit individually. Thanks for these “behind the scenes” shots Amanda.
I’ll complete the Independence Day series tomorrow with a shot taken at the same time as the above from a mile away.
Different angle on fireworks
It has been almost a month since the festivities of the 4th, but I still have dozens of pics to share. I’ll wrap things up over the next few days and then share the rest next year (when we won’t be around Ashland anyway).
Amanda got to help set up the fireworks display so these exclusive shots (today and tomorrow) are from her.
This is on Iowa Street between the SOU softball and soccer fields.
Wildlife Images
Brilliant capture of this image by Amanda Bullock.
Guest contributors wanted
In less than two months I will be moving to Tokyo for a year. I don’t want this blog to dry up and die while I’m gone. While the updates may not be quite daily while I’m away I’m hoping that with a hundred or so images from my archives and a little help from some of you who live in the Rogue Valley we can keep things interesting and fresh around here. I may even have a Tokyo week on Ashland Daily Photo from time to time while I’m in Japan.
Today’s image is the first photo from a guest contributor. This picture is of Medford, taken from the RoxyAnn Winery, and was provided courtesy of a former student of mine, Amanda Bullock.
If you have some high quality images of Ashland, or the Rogue Valley, and would like to see them published here drop me a line.
