Magical

Summer's come and gone. Leaves are turning into shades of autumn red and yellow.
Well almost.

Love how the ginko leaves scatter on the pavement, fresh from the rain. Rain which fell gently onto my lashes, awakening the lost connection with nature, almost like opening the glass window to see the forest in their real colors, to smell the rain in the atmosphere.

The rest of the magical forest will slowly change their hues from deep greens and dark emeralds to rich vibrant reds and yellows, before they all fall away into the deep winter frost.

Maybe, maybe next year I'll be back to catch a glimpse of spring as they come to life again.

Until then, I will be thinking of making the hike up this massive enchanting Mount Takao.
