On the day we had to visit the Kinkakuji temple (the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, but officially, the Rokuon-ji temple, the Deer Garden Temple) in Kyoto, Japan, it was raining a slow, steady, soaking rain. The grounds were magnificent in their autumn colours, and the red maples were especially beautiful. Great day for photos. Lousy day for keeping dry. - JW

Back to the maple grove...

There were so many different views from beneath the trees. All I had to do was just turn around, and there was another shot...

The supermarkets are already pushing ginger-bread and all sorts of wintry food stuff into our guts.

we've got lots of trees, but only a few are starting to shows signs of life again this spring. Still waiting for that Spring rush when the world turns green again.
