On November 2nd Kazuya and I went out to Mt. Mitake and to Mt. Hinode. The fall colors were not yet very much in evidence, but the first 2 pictures here show one tree which had some color. The 3rd shot is a small late fall flower - Swertia japonica. It's a very cute flower.

On November 15th Kazuya and I went to Jindai Botanical Garden to check out the Annual Chrysanthemum Display. Can you believe the many types of Chrysanthemums which there are? Here are 3 photos which give you a small idea of what exists.

On November 21st Kazuya had to work and I went to Mt. Takao alone to check out the fall colors. The first 2 pictures here were taken near the base of the mountain - beautiful red maple leaves. The 3rd shot was taken near the summit, at Momiji-Dai (Maple Tree Plateau), but it's not a maple tree!
