Kind of a Ray Davies “Waterloo Sunset”, as long as gaze on Kyoto gardens in autumn I am in paradise feeling, but now it is time to turn attention to serious matters.

Watching the watchers at Enko-ji. Enko-ji Temple is just about as good as it gets, Japanese maple-wise. And, since it is way up here in our area, it has fewer tourists than the bigger name temples in Higashiyama-ku.

Actually, it’s even closer to Rick “Son of Soy” Elizaga, but since he got married (Congratulations!) in traditional Japanese style last weekend, I’m hoping to see wedding pictures rather than momiji posted on his blog when he gets around to it.

One tourist arrives at JR Kyoto for every leaf that falls.

Back in the ’80s I had drawstring parachute pants in this pale yellow color. they weren’t even my most offensive pair of parachute pants.

it was a beautiful, crisp, clear autumn day today, but got very chilly this evening.

While in another part of the sky, Bush’s security helicopters circle relentlessly, as he is due to arrive in minutes.
