If I may share one fine sublime moment

Excited at hello. Heavy work tomorrow.

Full day of work no Pictures

Love at first sight

First body to body touch moment. Silence but meaningful touch at every nerve.

Discussion and decision time at Kyubey Onamase. I cant look at it. I didnt want to be perceived as either rude or not enjoying time with my partners and friends.

Nice travel companion

I fall in love again and again.

The dial is amazing. It is mood enhancing and changing at different angle and lightning.

Thank you my purist friends for guiding me and teaching me in horo passion.
