Watching Bats?

Mitsuko and I were out walking the other day, in the evening after work but before dusk really started. We had walked around the back of the school, and were walking down the road beside the rice paddies. The school, with the sun low over it, was to our right, and to our left was the deep green of the rice, with a glimpse of water here and there between the stalks. A wall of bamboo covers the hill behind the paddies.

Sometimes a walk in the evening can be romantic, even when you're watching bats.
