Broadleaves and conifers

Broadleaves are easy to collect, we just need to use a broom. But conifers are different. Especailly if it's a gravel garden like our place, conifers get inbetween small stones. Brooms don't work good there, we need to use bloewrs which are like big hair-dryers.

Not rain fall

Larch tree leaves fall down the trees and ride the wind when it's windy. It looks as if it rains. You can see this only at this time of the year.

Autumn leaves at Hakuba Happo one

Autumn leaves have been coming down the mountains, now it has come down around 1,400 meters above sea level here in Hakuba.


Grasses at the ski slopes are still greener than other leaves around.
I think autumn leaves are now coming down the mountains 1 or 2 weeks latter than usual. Probably the peak around our place will be around at the end of this month to the first half of next month. Join us to enjoy autumn leaves here in Hakuba.
