Was going to work on the weekend and on the way to find parking, I saw these autumn leaves being blown off the maple trees.  Couldn’t help to stop the car and take some photos.

If you look closely, you will see leaves in mid air and the leaves on the branches are a bit blurry.  It was a windy day.

Time really flies when you can’t stop to smell flowers.  We are in fall and there are only a few months left before the end of the year.

Downtown Vancouver in Fall by you.

Vancouver’s fall weather is fantastic.  I often cherish the fall weather more than the summer months as fall is usually very short.  The weather will start to become chillier and rain will be more frequent.

I like Japanese Architecture, and I like their garden design.  Visiting parks while in Tokyo is fun for me as I get to take lots of pictures.  This time, I went to Ueno Park.  It is a good size park with many paths and walkways.  It has lots of trees and shades.  If you have not been there and would like to visit Ueno Park, the easiest way is to take the JR train to the Ueno station.  The park is just across the street from the train station.
