In search of freshness.

                       

The rainy season has begun in Nara.

We sometimes feel gloomy during the rainy season which lasts about one month, but everything looks vivid and colorful, especially green leaves. In these rainy days, I went to Akame 48 Waterfalls in Mie prefecture. I took many photos of the green leaves and the waterfalls though it was first try for me.

                                                         This person is not me.

                              I like small size of waterfalls. 

   Water splashes on the rocks in the mountain streams.
   I walked carefully, avoiding slipping. 

 From here, I will go up slowly these steep stairs this time, though I am not good at mountain climbing.

                   This waterfall looks like a silky skirt.

 Here is a small creature, swallowtail! She is drinking water....? I love the tiny creature that always has the small kindness. I am trying to remember when I saw this beautiful butterfly last.

I thought there were 48 waterfalls in Akame 48 Waterfalls( Red Eye 48 Waterfalls). However, there were not 48 water falls here. I have known that the name just means many waterfalls. I kept walking along the waterfalls in the green wood, and my body and soul were refreshed! You could see beautiful autumn colors, green leaves and snow-white waterfalls here in 5 months!
