The first shot here is a nice Fall Lindou - the purple leaves are really nice. We saw a Japanese Serow (Capricornis crispus) (Kamoshika in Japanese) on the way down the trail. We were not able to get as close as we have in the past (See July 2008 and February 2007's photos for more shots), but it's always amazing to see wildlife.

Here is the final Japanese Serow shot - this last shot was very close. At the very base of the mountain we stumbled on this huge field of Pampas Grass - amazing!

Here is one more shot of the Pampas Grass Field. The final shot is "Yubatake" at night. Our bus back to Tokyo left at 9:00 AM on the 13th, so there are no pictures from the final day.

On October 18th Kazuya and I went to Nogawa Park, the park near our house, to take pictures of fall flowers. These 2 shots of Toad Lily (Tricyrtis sp.) were the best shots we got on that day.

On the 19th we went to Ange Gardens, near Tamagawa Station on the Keio Train Line. One of the first things we saw were these Anemone hupehensis var. japonica shown in the first photo. Then we saw the Cosmos flowers in the 2nd shot, and then we found a different color of the Anemone hupehensis var. japonica.

In this row you can see 2 shots of Colchicum autumnale, a weird plant, which actually does not even need soil to grow in. The plant has a bulb and if you just sit the bulbs on your porch, or in a hanging basket without soil this plant will bloom. The 3rd shot is a brilliant orange Cosmos flower.

Here is a shot of Kazuya with the Colchicum autumnale in front of him and Cosmos flowers behind him. The final shot is an unknown plant, but the flowers were pretty.
