Autumn 秋

Little everyday things.

The late afternoon light illuminated this blossom on the balcony brilliantly.

A few days this week I found myself on the train even earlier than usual and rather than show up to work super early, I took some time to wander about and take some photos in the late morning light.

Not so itsy bitsy spider.  

These spiders are one of the things I like about fall here in Japan.  Not only are they rather large with a 10cm leg span, but their webs can be as large as 2 metres across.

Sometimes B/W just looks better.

After the entrance and before the shrine building itself there are always two guardian lion-dogs; one with its mouth open and a ball; the other with the mouth closed.
