Was out of Japan for about 10 days...
Returned home to see the temperatures dipping to the mid-teens...
And the trees in the hills taking on hues of red and orange...
This Japanese maple tree radiates as it takes in light from the morning sun...
Large tracts of the hills here are inhibited by this 'wax' tree...
The Japanese name is 'haze' and the tree is apparently very useful albeit having toxic substances that can cause irritation to certain people...
The sap is used to make lacquer, and wax can be tapped from their seeds to make candles...
My 'sweeto haato' taking in the sights, as we paced through the paths...
Wooh, autumn in Japan... lovely it is...
How beautiful. It's one of the best season in Japan. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree with you, coco... my favorite season...
DeleteJust envy your Autumn. Something orangy then!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the joys of staying in a place with 4 seasons... :-)
DeleteThat sight is also like those posted in US blogs, and it seems the Japanes maples already conquered most temperate countries.
ReplyDeleteMaples are really pretty things to look at... :=)
DeleteThey are lovely. I wish I can enjoy autumn in Japan!
ReplyDeleteHave to be patient and wait till 2014! :)
Am certainly enjoying the lovely season now...

DeleteHow wonderful going for a walk, enjoying the colors of the season and cooler temperatures. Beautiful pictures! I think I saw a wax tree with red leaves here in the desert at a city park.
ReplyDeleteYeap, am really enjoying the season and the cool temperatures...
DeleteThat is so beautiful! I could stare at the leaves and sky all day! =)
ReplyDeleteOh nice greens & pleasant temperature during Fall. We do not have that privilege in bolehland haha. When as a kid was scratching head with the word 'Fall' and confused further with 'Fall guy' until this song 'You've Got a Friend' by Carole King with the lyric 'Winter spring summer or fall'..voila..haha
