The shrine forest has begun to change color gently, as if gently nestling against the large torii gate.
It is the season when fresh green leaves blush shyly and wear warm crimson and soft yellow clothes.
The delicate changes in color gently capture the hearts of those who see it, and before they know it, they are transported to a peaceful time.
A leaf flutters down, surrendering itself to the autumn breeze.
It is a gentle season, when you can feel the promise of life going around again in those small fluctuations.
