On Sunday, November 30th, Kazuya and I went to Jindai Botanical Garden and Jindaiji Shrine to check out the fall colors. As you will see on this page - they were pretty much at their peak. The first shot in this row was taken just outside the front gate of the Botanical Garden at 9:25 AM. The 2 trees are a Red Maple (red) and a Ginkgo (yellow). The 2nd shot was taken at the Maple Tree section of the Botanical Garden. It was 9:58 AM. The 3rd shot was taken at 10:01 AM.

As you might guess, these three photos were all taken in the Maple Tree Section of the Botanical Garden. They were taken between 10:01 and 10:11 AM. Aren't they beautiful?

These three were taken between 10:18 and 10:28 AM. The sun was about at the maximum brightness that it was going to achieve for this day.

This Maple photo was taken at 10:32 and then we decided to walk around more of the Botanical Garden and see what else we could find. As we went past the pond we saw a bunch of photographers with their tripods and huge cameras and we found what they were photographing - this Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). Considering the equipment we have, compared to those people, these couple of shots came out quite nice. These shots were taken at 11:19 and 11:24 AM respectively.

Then we walked out the rear entrance and down to the Temple Area. We had never realized it before, but there are some nice maple trees in the Temple Grounds too. These 2 shots were taken at 12:23 and 12:25 PM respectively.

These 2 shots were also taken in the Temple Grounds - at 12:28 and 12:33 PM respectively. We had already eaten lunch of nice soba (buckwheat) noodles at a soba restaurant. Check out Kazuya's blog for a nice photo of our lunch.

Then we went back into the Botanical Garden and although it had clouded up we changed the setting on our cameras to "Cloudy" and returned to the Maple Tree area and took some additional photos. These 3 were taken between 1:02 and 1:04 PM.

And, we come to the final 2 shots of Fall Color in the Maple Tree Section of Jindai Botanical Garden. These 2 were taken at 1:22 and 1:25 PM respectively. Although the photos don't show it, it was quite cloudy by this time so we headed for home on our bicycles. Just before we got home it started spitting rain!
