I took a walk at night when it was getting longer and cooler and I took a picture of the cosmos that grew on the side of the road.

Hirai Sports Park Skytree and Cosmos were 🌼 lovely

Went to Chiba over the weekend and we were originally planning on visiting Mt. Nokogiri but decided to stay near the bay area instead since the weather was so nice. It really felt like we were in a resort area and it was a lot of fun. We managed to book a cruise of the nearby factories and it was a blast. They had snack bags for feeding the seagulls on board the ship that you could buy for ¥100 and once we started moving the seagulls started to follow and it just became a feeding frenzy. You’d throw the chips out to the seagulls as the flew side by side with the ship and they were really skilled at catching the chips as well. If it was a weak throw or the wind caught it, the seagull would dive down to catch it. Even if they missed it, another seagull behind it would swoop into the water and grab it. We bought two bags and halfway through the second bag you could tell the seagulls were getting full or tired because they weren’t as agile as they were at the start😂. We also ate at a few restaurants. The steak and fried rice and the beef ramen was from Niku no Gyuuchu (肉の牛忠) I’m not sure if it has an English name or not. And the pizza was from a place called “Salvatore Cuomo.” Both tasted pretty good, I enjoyed the Italian restaurant more I think, but the steak restaurant had a nice, relaxed atmosphere compared to the rest of Lalaport which was pretty lively. I somehow lost the pictures I took of my pasta and the salad unfortunately. We also went inside Chiba Port Tower and it had some nice views and a “lovers corner” for taking photos, etc. They also had heart-shaped locks that visitors could buy and lock to a wall to signify their love or something to that effect. Overall it was a really fun experience and not too far from Tokyo. Would definitely like to go back and visit again!

Autumn on the table

It is a national treasure in Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture, and the autumn leaves of Fukiji Temple are lit up.

This photo was taken at the Learning Forest in Kakamigahara City. My dog is ♪ surprised at how beautiful it is.

Early autumn Okama. The surrounding area was slightly colored in autumn, and the green of the volcanic lake and the red of the trees complemented the scenery. The air was cool and I could feel the changing seasons.

There was a cosmos field on unused farmland. Apparently, it is part of conservation activities. I took this photo in the evening, so it is the moon that is shining brightly.

I took this photo in the summer.

At Mt. Hakushi in Oita Prefecture, I photographed the morning sun and pampas grass. It's been hot for a long time, but the pampas grass feels like autumn and makes you feel the flow of the seasons. I released the shutter with that in mind.

I'm looking forward to this fall. This work was taken at Lake Tanuki the other day. The autumn leaves are beautiful in the morning sun. Mt. Fuji and beautiful autumn leaves At Lake Tanuki, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture 2021／10／8

I was in a bit of a hurry when I took this photo, but I wanted to take a picture of it because I thought it was interesting. Before coming to Japan, I hadn't actually seen braille blocks before (or maybe I had but never realized it or thought about what they were for), so learning about the yellow bumps at crosswalks and in stations, etc. I was pretty surprised and thought it was really cool. Recently, I was at Monzen-nakacho Station and saw this little station guide and thought it was cool because of the material it was made of and the sort of rustic look it had to it, but I was surprised to find out that it was actually a braille layout of the station and it looks like it even uses indenting to indicate where staircases, etc. are located. I was interested in learning more, so I looked up a Japanese braille handbook and learned how to read it. It's quite easy to understand when you can see it, but obviously it would take more time to memorize how the characters feel and where the dakuten, etc. are.

I like autumn in Japan because it is easier to spend than other seasons.

It is a light up of autumn leaves in Nagoya Shiratori Garden. The illuminated autumn leaves seen from the houses in the Japan garden are splendid.

It is a light up of the autumn feature Japan Nagoya Shiratori Garden. Please enjoy the fantastic autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the lake.

It is a pampas grass of the Twilight Greatness Plateau. The fantastic scenery is unlikely to be Japan.

Surprisingly beautiful (* 'ω'*)

A photo I took a little while back while on a small boat ride through Tokyo. This photo was of Ishikawajima Park, a small riverside park that looks like it'd be a nice place to relax and have some lunch with a friend or date or just get some fresh air. I'd like to come back and visit the area when I have some time and see what else is in the park, as well as take a look at the surrounding buildings and what they might have in the area as far as restaurants and shopping, etc. It's really nice that Tokyo seems to be returning to a relatively normal state and I'm seeing more people out and about and infection numbers don't seem to be on the rise currently. Hopefully this trend continues and I can start going out more and visiting all of the eateries and stuff I've been missing out on over the last year and a half!
