Autumn attire at "Nonno Forest" in Hokuryu Town's Sunflower Village

Friday, September 2, 2022

In Nonno Forest, the colors of the flowers and plants change daily and the leaves on the trees gradually take on autumn colors.

The scenery at this time of year is one of autumn, with a cool autumn breeze blowing through and a melancholic air filling the air as autumn quietly creeps in.

夏の終りを告げるかのように。。。
As if to signal the end of summer...
アナベルも白から黄緑へと変化して。。。
Annabelle has also changed from white to yellow-green...
木風が吹き抜ける小路。。。
A narrow path with a breeze blowing through the trees...
ちょっぴり色づきはじめた樹木
Trees starting to change color
オレンジ色に染まるナナカマド?!
Rowan trees dyed orange?!
仲良く寄り添う松ぼっくり。。。
Pine cones nestled together in harmony...
真紅のバラに陽炎が。。。
A heat haze on the crimson rose...
夏の終りを告げるかのように。。。
As if to signal the end of summer...
秋風に舞う蝶のように。。。
Like a butterfly dancing in the autumn breeze...
整然と佇むひまわりの里をバックに。。。
With the tidy sunflower village in the background...
ひんやりと静寂な風が漂う小路を抜けて。。。
Passing through the alley where a cool and quiet breeze drifts...
