Roger's Pictures
20-26 April 2025
We ran some errands and went to the Kyoto
National National Museum on Sunday the 20th. Poked
around a nearby shrine and small temple afterwards. On
Saturday the 26th we strolled through the Botanical Garden to
see what was blooming. Includes a few other shots in
between those days...
