Turning of Time





When the flowers and energy of summer give a final bow and concedes to the changing of time, 
then comes Fall.
In a brisk wind the weather changes from the sultry summer heat to a crisp autumn day, stealing life from the trees and filling me with the energy of a new adventure. 

The Japanese word for fall leaves is "koyo", specifically connotating the brilliant reds of maple trees. In this posting I want to share the beauty of the season.                                       
 Please enjoy. 







Mito has been very intentional about cultivating the beauty of this season, lining the streets with gorgeous, deciduous trees and displaying nightly illumination of the ginko trees (yellow leaves below). 




Even the flower arrangements reflect the colors and sentiments of the season. 




For a moment it is beautiful and brilliant, 
then it falls and fades to await the pageant of next year.
