Autumn Is On The Way

The weather here lately has been extremely rainy, almost as if we’re going through a second rainy season. Thankfully, unlike the actual rainy season, it’s not nearly as hot or muggy. In fact, it’s been quite cool, with hints of autumn weather in the air. But the air isn’t the only place those hints are showing up. The ginko trees are slowly sliding toward yellow, although it will be some time before they turn fully...

Autumn Lane In Shinjuku Park

Welcome to September everyone! I don’t know about you, but the ‘tembers mark my absolute favorite months of the year. I do love a good winter snow storm, and of course adore the cherry blossoms and other flowers of spring, but nothing compares for me to the hues in the trees combined with the crisp air of autumn. Add in a couple of fantastic holidays, and there’s little the rest of the year can do...
