Mt. Takao (September 14th)

 

Mt. Fuji from the top of Mt. Takao.

 

      I haven't uploaded any pictures for a long time.
We went to Mt. Takao to see some fall flowers.
I have been lazy all summer, so it was good exercise for me to hike along our usual course from the No. 6 trail  to the summit of Mt. Takao and to Mt. Kobotoke-shiroyama.

またまた長いこと、放置してしまいました。
山からどうも足が遠ざかってしまってました。久しぶりに高尾山、小仏城山と歩いてきました。
もうすっかり秋ですね。ススキや萩が涼しげに風に揺れていました。
ヤマボウシの実も赤く色づいていました。
