This month's photos cover only 2 weekends - we had a couple of typhoons which kept us at home for a couple of weekends! DISAPPOINTING! Click on any thumbnail to begin.

The first photo - if you look closely you can find a wild monkey! On October 4th we started to climb Mt. Kumotori for an overnight trip, but Kazuya had a bad cold and after we hiked for a couple of hours we decided that he was not up to the climb.
We turned around, and on the way back down the mountain we spotted some WHITE FACE MONKEYS playing in the trees. We hung out for probably an hour trying to sneak up and get some decent pictures of them, but they are EXTREMELY wary and we were only able to get blurry shots and far away shots.
This is the best shot we got! The next photo is a small white flower - taken the same day. By the way, it was a darn good thing we didn't climb the mountain - it started raining hard during the night and rained for the next 3 days - we would have been extremely miserable! The final shot in this row was taken on Mt. Mitake on October 23 - some kind of berries!

The first 2 photos are the same, but the 2nd one has been played with in PhotoShop. We created this small STILL LIFE on the forest floor and photographed it. The 3rd photo is a red maple near a rest hut on Mt. Mitake.

The first photo shows another red maple near a big rock with writing on it. The 2nd shot is some kind of purple berries and the 3rd shot shows early fall colors from what we call the "Bird Lady's" because there is a tiny restaurant on the mountain where the lady feeds the birds.

The first shot is a LINDOU - a fall flower, the flowers closed 15 minutes later due to falling temperatures. Next 2 shots are in different places, but the same kind of grass seed-heads.

The first shot was collaged by Kazuya - a postcard size of flowers we saw and photographed on October 23. The 2nd collage was also built by Kazuya, but it shows several fall flowers, some of which were on the website last month - they are all fall flowers though.
The 3rd photo is my DVD collection as of Aug 20, 2004 - this photo is no longer current! By the way, here is a link to my entire DVD collection if you're asking yourself what
