Spider lilies that bloom at the equinox every year I was drawn to the poised figure of the white flower blooming on the border between life and death Its quiet strength moved me.

When I visited the Kasama Chrysanthemum Festival, I photographed the charming pairing of the fox statues at Kasama Inari Shrine with the splendid chrysanthemums. Kasama is a town known for pottery, but cafe hopping is fun too.

The autumn in Urabandai, Fukushima is amazing. I took this photo during a figgy day near lake Hibara. The small island inside the lake also full of autum colors which makes the frame more beautiful. Mist, autumn colors and lake, these are all what i can even imagined. It was so exciting and eye-shoothing. After thus trip I was really refreshed and energized again.

One moment it seemed to dance wildly in the cold gusts, the next it swayed gently in the tender night breeze. The autumn wind chimes sound a variety of tones with the crisp, expressive chill of the season. Location: Showa Memorial Park

I finally went to photograph the cosmos I'd wanted to shoot for so long! At 138 Tower Park in Kiso Sansen Park. Bees flitted madly among the cosmos swaying in the wind. I captured the beauty of life living to nature's rhythm.

Isehara City Autumn Foliage Report Here is an update on the city’s autumn colors for today, November 12. The ginkgo-lined avenue beside Isehara City General Sports Park has started to turn a beautiful yellow. Some sections are still green, so it will take a little longer for the entire row to turn yellow. Autumn colors on Ooyama are progressing gradually, but peak viewing appears to be still ahead. Please note that there will be evening illumination of the autumn leaves on Ooyama. For details, please see the tourism association’s special site. https://isehara-kanko.com/autumn-lightup/...

October 25, 2025 Nagano City Kinasa Okususobana Nature Garden I wandered through the park to enjoy the autumn leaves. The forest stretched as far as I could see, dyed in fall colors. Several ponds and wetlands dot the area. On this day I was especially drawn to Yoshiike, a breeding site for the black salamander and the forest green tree frog. Leaves sank into the pond while reflections added depth to the scene.

Autumn had quietly arrived at the neighborhood park before I noticed. I discovered it during a walk.

On October 25, 202, Okusuzuhana Nature Garden in Kinasa, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture A valley stretched from the far end of the park toward Myoko and Kurohime.

I was moved by the stark volcanic landscape of the explosion crater (Numanodaira Crater), then continued to Mount Yahazu (1,673 m) and enjoyed autumn colors painting the slopes of MtTetsu (1,709 m).
