Autumn in Tsukuba

A few weeks ago I went for a walk in Chuo Park. It was a lovely day and the colors of autumn were all around.

Autumn is my favorite season in Japan - so much more beautiful than the Australian autumn which is shorter. Most Australian trees are evergreen so they don't lose their leaves. Tsukuba is so beautiful with all the Japanese and European trees that range from bright yellow to gold to orange/pink to red to the deepest russet. And I love walking along with the sound of leaves crunching underfoot!

By the way, even though I use a lot of American English now for my job, I cannot imagine calling autumn 'fall' :)
