Matcha latte,

The sound of brewing,

Morning light.

Glasses and sweets,

Shampoos and cakes -

Wearable and edible.

November 16th,

Climbing Yakuriji – the 85th temple.

Two sisters’ birthdays: 88 and 99.

Burgundy,

Blood orange,

Yuzu-

Deep autumn leaf colors.

Two trees side by side,

Withering at different times,

In the same season.

Chocolate fondant,

Sake ice cream,

At Pizza 4 P’s.

Adieu Tristesse,

Congés Payés

Women’s clothing brands.

This trip to Japan,

Plenty of momiji,

Bringing bright hues home.
