Kaeru

A kaeru, or frog statue. This one sat at the primary Shinto shrine in the United States, which was northeast of Seattle until last June. The new shrine, as I understand it, is to be in Florida.

The shrine was a nice, peaceful place, tucked away in the sort of place that if one didn't know to look for it, one would drive right past it. I took this picture when I went up there to spend one last stretch of time before it closed.

I don't know if the statuary and whatnot is still present. Maybe I should go up and look.
