This page actually begins with October 31st, pictures which came too late for last month's pages! Then, it goes through November 12th. Here are the first fall colors, trips to Hyakuhiro Waterfall, Jindai Botanical Garden and a sunset at Haneda Airport. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

On October 31st I had to work, but Kazuya had the day off, so he went out to Mitake in search of fall colors. He didn't find many colors, but the pictures of his 2 lunches are quite attractive.

On November 3rd we both had the day off so we traveled out to Okutama and then took a bus to the Mt. Kawanori trailhead bus stop. We hiked up the trail to the big waterfall (Hyakuhiro Waterfall). These first 3 shots show some fall colors beginning to look nice on the mountains which we could see from the trail.

And another 3 fall color shots - funny, it didn't appear as hazy as these photos make it look.

Here is a small waterfall on the way to the big one. The 2nd and 3rd shots are the same area, but the 3rd shot is zoomed in more.

The first shot is the final one of fall colors before we arrived at the waterfall. We found out that this waterfall is more then 40 meters (120 feet) in height - a nice waterfall. If you compare these photos with those of February 2007 HERE you can see that this waterfall has a lot more rocks at its base than it used to have. I suppose that this happened during the huge typhoon caused flood of September.

On November 7th Kazuya had another day off which I did not and he went to Jindai Botanical Garden - the one near our house. Check out that Chrysanthemum waterfall! The 2nd and 3rd shots show some fall color in the pond, which should become very beautiful later in the month.

On November 12th we had a fantastic sunset here at the office. I took these 3 shots from the window. The big mountain in the 1st and 2nd shots is Mt. Fuji.
