Autumn red and yellow @ Koishikawa Botanical Gardens: Nov. 18, 2012

Tokyo had the first cold blast this year today. The season is turning to the end of autumn.

I visited Koisikawa Botanical Gardens to enjoy autumn yellow and red.


Most maple trees still kept green leaves, but (the leaves of) some trees were turning to red. Families were enjoying picnic under the trees.

Ginko trees had already turned to yellow.

Grounds were covered with fallen leaves. Sunbeams were streaming through the trees into the grounds.

Carps swam slowly in a pond in Japanese garden. The sly was bright blue. The trees behind the pond were green, yellow and red. I enjoyed the colors.
