The pond with autumn color

After walking through the dark forest of firs and spruces, I reached to Sirakoma-pond, where the surface of it is twinkling and the leaves of azaleas along the shore are changing into autumn color.

The forest covered with moss

The forest ground of northern part of Yatugatake is covered with thick moss. We are able to feel the rich moisture walking in the forest after a rainy day.

Autumn Color

According to the cool weather recently, several trees in the forest near our house began to change the color of their leaves. We are looking forward to the autumn color of our forests.

The color of our grass field is changing to yellow and cirrus cloud is seen over Mt. Yatsugatake.

Wild Chrysanthemum

We often have occasional rain recently. Season seems to be changing to autumn. These small flowers, which are of the same class of chrysanthemum, began to bloom near our house.
