Shiny leaves

Hello.
We had mild autmnal weather today.
Some places in Niigata prefecture already got snow
in the past a few days due to a strong cold wave.
I wrapped myself up with a couple of extra tops.
Winter is approaching little by little, yet, certainly.

Leaves in Deyu area have changed the green coloures into
red, orange, and yellow.



One stunning view of Japanese maple tree with the roof of
Kehoji temple.



Looking down the ground, I found a pretty Japanese maple leaf
dropped. What a beautiful leaf! Only one leaf leads to a feeling of
autumn; lonesome.



I enjoyed looking the coloured leaves little while, sitting on
a step of the temple's front door with a lady who just got
from a public hotspring bath in the temple.
