Autumn leaves! Subarashi!

---

In one week in Japan with our Probus friends we have seen more autumn leaves than in our entire lives! What a season- the colour is overwhelming. It is not just the red leaves that are so blood red and set next to the yellow leaves of the Ginko trees but it is all the other shades of orange and lime green against the deep greens of the cypress and the pines that blow the mind.

At night in both Kanazawa and now in Kyoto we have seen the many ways they light up the autumn trees to create visions of beauty and harmony.

Now with Kanazawa, Miho and Kyoto behind us tomorrow we head by Shinkansen up to Tottori and the sand dunes, then Adachi and Hagi before crossing back to Hiroshima for a couple of days.

Great trip, great group, great fun.

Photos

Lots of photos
Many taken - few able to catch the magic of the scenes. FrustrateD Probus photographers all want expensice cameras and tripods for Christmas.

Tree care
The trees are wrapped so that insects will gather there for shelter in winter and in spring the covers are taken off with the insects inside!

Shivers up my spine
You've certainly stirred up the memories. It's just as I remember our Autumn visit 10? years ago. We'll continue to watch with pleasure. Enjoy and stay well.
