Papa! Matte!

Nikko Japan

In the mountains about 2 hours from Tokyo. Nakimushiyama Trail. (What happened to the color in this? I guess my monitor calibration has gone off again?)

Last of the fall

A sea of green

前ぼけ

Mae boke in Japanese, meaning boke in the foreground.

Wild Tokyo

or about as close as it gets. Kanagawa from the Tokyo side

Everygreen and not

Mid-May at Utsukushigahara, Nagano

Young leaves

Showing a little pink

Small woods in Hakone

Still waiting for Sakura

but there are other signs of spring in Tokyo

Not yet

Supposedly, cherry blossoms have started blooming in Tokyo. Seems too cold for that---haven't seen any yet. These are from last year

Favorite tree

The blooms only last a few weeks in March, but it is one of the most attractive ornamental trees in Tokyo

A Hint of Fall

Around Denechofu, Tokyo

Never Tire of Cherry Blossums

Yellow

A few times a year, we do have blue skies.
