Hello! I'm from Texas and slowly learning about Japanese culture🇺🇸🇯🇵 I especially enjoy growing bonsai and listening to Japanese jazz. Feel free to say hi in English or simple Japanese! I'm hoping to visit Japan one day, so I'd really appreciate any corrections or advice on my Japanese. よろしくね!

The best part of curing and smoking your own bacon? Getting to choose how thick you want to slice it. Does this count as Meat Terrorism? #ベーコン #たべもの

I think I visited this planet while playing No Man's Sky... Lichens growing on a stick that fell from a tree in the back yard. #おもしろい

Hearing the calls of the coyotes in the distance. Considering replying. #いぬ

This is a "Dog Day" Cicada I found on a tree in the back yard. Pretty cool looking, but also looks like something that could have been in the movie Starship Troopers, maybe. #むち #セミ

Good camouflage! A katydid on my Hawaiian Umbrella bonsai. There are some interesting insects in my back yard this year. #むし #ぼんさい

I'm learning Kanji using WaniKani. It's fun to see where some of the vocabulary words that I've been drilling for the past few months come from. It's like having a puzzle revealed bit by bit before your eyes. Very satisfying when the pieces click together. 🧩🇯🇵 #にほんご

Check out this tiny little Praying Mantis that showed up on my porch. No bigger than a marble. Been trying to get a good picture of him for a few days. These are the best ones. #むし #かわいい

Someone got a new ball today as a gift from the neighbor. This pleases her. #いぬ

Apparently this is a "Robber Fly". They eat pests and help keep my bonsai healthy. I thought it was a kind of tiny dragonfly at first. #むし #ぼんさい

More scenes from around the US. These are from Arkansas, New Mexico, and Arizona. There is so much to explore out there it would take a lifetime to see it all. きれいですね? #アメリカ

Picked up this Barbados Cherry sapling yesterday and gave him a little haircut. Going to let him mature in his nursery container for a while. May give him a bonsai pot to live in next spring. #ぼんさい

I spent 5 years traveling around the country in an RV. I've visited 44 of the 50 US states and camped in 38 of them. Here are some pictures from Texas and Colorado. There is such much roadside weirdness to find in Texas that I could probably write a book about it. きれいですね?

Today's lunch: An 800g ribeye that nearly filled the entire pan. #おいしい
