The first photo shows a collage of False Anemone Anemonopsis heterophylla - a famous August flower of Mt. Mitake. Next is a Sobana flower and then a Tsukubanesou flower.

The first photo is a sunset taken from the summit of Hinode Mountain (902 meters = 2,959 feet). It's not a tall mountain, but it does afford a nice view of both the sunset and the sunrise. The 2nd photo is in the morning, a while after sunrise - nice clouds. The 3rd photo is Giboushi at the summit of Mt. Hinode.

The first photo is a Ligularia dentata flower. The next shot shows me beside one of the plants so you can see the size of this plant. The 3rd photo shows Kazuya at the summit of Mt. Nana-tsu-ishi (1,757 meters = 5,765 feet). We cross over the top of this mountain on the way to Mt. Kumotori.

The first 2 photos show what it looked like at sunset at the summit of Mt. Kumotori (2,017 meters = 6,618 feet). We couldn't see the sun due to clouds, but the colors were cool anyway. The 3rd photo is a shot of the 2 of us at the summit of Kumotori. It was down to 15 degrees C (59 degrees F) - chilly!

The first 2 photos show some deer! The first shot shows 5 of them and the second shows 6 of them if you study it closely. We were sitting with our backs right against our tent. No zoom or anything on the camera, so these critters were about 12 feet (4 meters) from us!!! Amazing! The 3rd shot is sunrise at the summit of Mt. Kumotori. The sun was producing this weird "straight up" shaft of light all during sunrise.

The first 2 shots show Mt. Fuji. The first shot is zoomed from the summit of Kumotori and the 2nd shot is not zoomed - taken from our tent site, which was about 5 minutes below the summit of Kumotori. The 3rd shot is a Tama Toad Lily Tricyrtis latifolia, a relatively rare type of Toad Lily, and we only saw one of them too!

First shot is a hot spring which we stopped at on our way down from Mt. Kumotori. It's "in the middle of nowhere" - about 45 minutes walk from the nearest road, COOL! Well, hot actually, seeing as it's a hot spring. The 2nd photo shows a fruiting head of Jack-in-the-pulpit, and the 3rd photo is a flower of Impatiens textori.
