Hello! It it is Izumi to talk to you and show you my photographs from walking on the streets. But I am thinking that Decisive Moments may be like leaves on the trees that listen to the seasons and what Daishizen or Mother Nature is saying to them, not to Izumi and her PEN although we talk very nicely to her about our wishes for happy photographs.

Even though Australia is a place where trees stay green all over the year not like Japan, maybe Moments are like polar bears and want to sleep for the Winter? But this cannot be as there are many happy photographs taken in the snows and ice of winters in many places. Perhaps I must learn to look differently and I shall try to do so in the next weeks or so so you will know by looking here.

So I do not have many happy photographs this time but I hope you do enjoy the ones that I have captured. Perhaps it is time for the lioness to think about having a diet or different prey even though she would rather keep eating her full meals that she knows.

Or is it like fishes in the sea where only so many of them live in a place and if a big trawler ship comes and catches too many fishes in the nets there are none left for a while until the little fishes that escaped the net grow bigger and have families themselves or other fishes come there because it is not so crowded any more and so gradually the area fills up with fishes again like it was before.

Can it be that I have fished out my area of happy photographs? Surely it is not so because there are still many people and shops and traffic and things happening all the time.

I will keep walking and looking and you will know if I have been a trawler of the streets if the success hides from me for much longer.

Goodbye for now then.

Your friend,

Izumi.
