So getting in on the act, last November, I went to "Ginko Avenue", near Aoyama and one of the most popular places in Tokyo to see the ginko trees as they turn golden. But I was not alone....
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and it felt like most of Tokyo had turned up to view the ginko. The street had been closed and thronged with people.
It became clear that this was not an event which you came alone to, this guy had brought his cat.
I took this photo of these ladies catching up on each other's news but then I realised that one of them had brought her teddy bear along.. why should Ted miss out on the fun?
Also you can see the lady on the left has been collecting the golden leaves which was a popular activities for all ages.
I love this photo of the child earnestly inspecting the ground for the best leaves
And this young lady already has an impressive selection and is showing them off in her best "catalog" pose.
And with it being close to the 7-5-3 festival (celebrating children who reach those ages), it was lovely to catch this girl in her kimono, also getting in on the leaf collecting.
Those who weren't collecting leaves were photographing the leaves. These girls caught my eye because of their bright clothing and accessories.
And it stood out to me how many different ways there are to take a photo these day, not necessarily with a camera but a gaming device will do just as well
But what about the trees themselves? Ok, here is the golden covered walkway at the side of the street
And capturing the cone shape of the trees
But what I really love is to capture the leaves against the sky and so I leaves (sic) you with this.
