November 22nd Continues From Page 2 |
  In the second photo you can see Kazuya near a field of Pampas Grass we found as we hiked up the river (this shot is out of order for the purpose of landscape and portrait mode balance). After we ate our lunch we crossed the river and then went back downriver on the other side. As we approached the Ginkgo Tree we saw this costumed lady which some guy had obviously hired to slowly step around for him to photograph. There is a larger version of the first photo available HERE and a larger version of the third photo available HERE. |

  Here is one shot looking straight up through the famous Ginkgo Tree. In the THIRD photo you see the small stand of Red Maple Trees where we took the shots of the Ginkgo earlier in the day. In the SECOND shot we have crossed back to the other side and we are now standing under the Red Maples shown in the 3rd photo. The time is now 1:36 PM, so the sun angle has changed significantly. There is a larger version of the SECOND photo available HERE. |

  So, here are 3 more shots of the famous Ginkgo taken around 1.5 - 2 hours earlier than the shots on the previous page. The lighting is significantly different. |

  Two nicely framed shots of the Ginkgo followed by a shot of some red leaves. Note the group of 5 or 6 leaves in the center of the photo with the sun shining through them. |

  On the 23rd of November Kazuya and I went to Nogawa Park and found this incredibly orange colored Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum). |

  We also found these incredibly red Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema  sp.) berries as well as some Fall Cherry trees (a variety which blooms in the fall rather than the spring). The 3rd shot is some unknown red berried tree. |
