As many of you know, a massive 8.9 earthquake struck Japan earlier today. When devastation like this occurs, we are reminded of the enormous power of Mother Nature and the fragility of life. Please pray for the people of Japan and the world during this sensitive time.

Just because I am super missing Japan lately, I am going to share some more of my fun Nihon (Japan) photos with you today. Hope you enjoy these colorful images I took on one of my last visits to Tokyo and Yokohama. I'm sure they'll put a smile on your face and brighten up your Monday after the long Holiday weekend...
