119. Ham fair 2015
Went to ham fair this year too.
Though I thought this was a replica of FO-29 (Fuji No.3), it looks like for Fuji No.1, considering the 435 MHz antennas on its top.
A brief check on the data of FO-29 sending lively telemetry signals also today shows its launch date was August 17, 1996. Thus it has been used by radio amateurs worldwide for more than 19 years.
Awesome expertise of NEC.

118. A nearby industrial legacy
Went to a nearby sewing machine repair shop with XYL.
An interesting machine does sit there.
A sewing machine by foot which I used to see in my childhood.
The photo was taken after getting OK for the shot.
Its operation manual is available too. Well, not "ma-nyu-aru", but "shi-you-hou" (utilization method).
These shall be read from the right to the left. The front page reads;
Singer sewing machine, No. 15, K 83 type (Ja-no-me type), year 1933
This machine still works satisfactorily!! Hat off.

117. White-tailed skimmer
A white-tailed skimmer laying eggs at a place close to A boat in Inba marsh.
Though this species is not uncommon at all, I took this picture because the skimmer had a typical male coloring as in the photo, yet it was making the egg laying hovering.
Checking the nets indicates that there is indeed a feamale skimmer retaining the male coloring.

116. Blackbass fishing
Looks he will be able to do good works again starting on Monday.

115. Water striders
Water striders on water chestnuts. Forward legs are so short.
As they can fly in the air pretty well, we sometimes see they land on a puddle in the street and swim there.

114. Quaking grass & clover
Quaking grass started wilting. It became surely looking like koban (ellipse-shaped gold/silver money).
Though both white and red clovers are blooming, my camera unwittingly went to the red one . A quick glance at Wiki indicates that the local name "tume-kusa" in the white and red clovers comes from the "tume" for filling, instead of the "tume" for finger nails.
It says that clovers were used as a cushion stuff for glassware imported from the Netherlands at the late Tokugawa period. Thus the clovers have become to be called tume-kusa (filling stuff grass). Honma?? (Kansai/Osaka dialect meaning Really??).

113. Fragrant breeze in May at Inba marsh
While at reed field in Inba marsh, a reed warbler looks happy.

112. Fragrant breeze in May at hillside farmland
Carp streamers shine in fresh green at a nearby hillside farmland.

111. Sea breeze ageing
Whisky created at Nisi-Nada/Eigasima.
Said to be produced after the sake brewing period in winter.
And aged by salt breeze of Seto inland sea.
As one bred by the same wind,
no other way than to try this.
