  The first shot here is a small snow-melt pond which sparkled like a jewel in real-life and came out the same way in the photo. The 2nd shot is Mt. Chokai - very far away - taken from the summit of Mt. Gassan. The 3rd shot is some early morning scenery taken as we hiked down the mountain. That hut you see is a small shrine.

  Here is a beautiful cloud shot taken by Kazuya and a photo of a tiny green frog sitting on some grass. That concludes the photos from the vacation to Yamagata.

     That ends the photos for August - after we returned to Tokyo it rained and rained and rained and we didn't do anything the rest of the month.

By the way - Kazuya is still maintaining his blog, which exhibits different photos than shown here (mostly - I have used some of his though). It looks very nice and you can find it HERE. (Click on the "Studies of Plants and Wildlife" link in the new window.)
