Lovely leaves, there's an artistry to nature so that even when the leaves have fallen, sometimes especially after that you can see the divine in them. It's really moving. These are beautiful pictures Shimizu-san. Totemou utsukushii.

Thank you. I took these photos in autumn, but now I really hope that autumn will come soon to Japan. The recent summer in Japan has really exhausted me. (>_<)

Ohh yeah the thing about summer in Japan is that it can be exhausting (and hot and humid), Autumn and Winter are great out there.

I completely agree with you.

Hahaha merci, domou. I must confess that when I last experienced them I was amazed at how easy and relaxing it was. Truly the Japanese are blessed, though I must confess that I struggled terribly in the summer and had minor heat-strokes and health complications due to the heat and humidity. But the winter made it all worth it.

Japan is a country prone to natural disasters, but the heat of the Japanese summer may now be considered a disaster.

They look like chestnuts, but are acorns.
