We were fortunate and Kazuya had off one day each of the 4 weekends during November - so there are some photos from every weekend. This first page covers the first 2 weekends of the month and the 2nd page covers the 2nd two weekends of the month. We were also fortunate in that every weekend all month was beautifully clear blue skies! Click on any thumbnail to begin.

  The first photo is the only shot of the first weekend - the sun shining through the trees as we were climbing Mt. Takao on November 5th. The 2nd 2 shots show some pretty decent fall color at Okutama on November 12th.

  We hiked along the old original road from Okutama Station to Okutama Lake, it has been turned into a trail. The first 2 shots in this row show some fairly decent fall colors on the mountains. The 3rd shot shows an interesting blue berry, sorry - don't know what it is.

  The first shot here shows some more fall color against a blue sky. The 2nd shot is another kind of blue berry - also do not know the name of this one. The 3rd shot is one more fall color tree.

  The first photo here shows the Tama River Gorge from a spot along the trail. The 2nd photo shows some native pampas grass against a hillside and a beautiful blue sky and the 3rd shot is me at the spot we stopped to eat our lunch.

  The first photo here also shows some amazing yellows. The 2nd shot is Mt. Sogaku and Mt. Gozen from a spot along the trail - you have seen a similar picture taken in the summer (see May 2005's photos Page 2, Row 9 or Click Here for that image to open in a new window). The 3rd shot is a beautiful Fall Lindou flower.

  The first image in this row is a single red leaf on a very small weed. The 2nd two shots are more Fall Lindou flowers, similar but not exactly the same, so that is why I included both of them.

  The first photo is again Mt. Sogaku & Mt. Gozen, but from a different spot along the trail. The 2nd shot, the final one of this weekend, is actually a panorama of 3 shots taken from the Okutama Station Platform.
