Kyoto's fall foliage season starts very late compared to the rest of the\nworld. Last year's first\nfall-colors post<\/a> wasn't until November 3rd, while 2006's was even later<\/a> (and less\ncolorful). In browsing<\/span> my blog's full list of posts<\/a>, or my fall-colors\ncategory<\/a>, you'll find that late November \/ early December are when\nKyoto's fall colors reach their peak.<\/p>\n\n

Two things tell me fall is coming (besides the calendar). One is that<\/span>\nit has started to cool a bit.<\/span> This morning, the temperature dipped below\n70°F. The other<\/span> is my\nserver logs<\/a>, which have suddenly become full of people looking for\n“fall foliage” and “fall leaf desktop”. It's not as<\/span> easy to tell what\npeople are searching for since Google seems to no longer send the search\nterm along to my site, but I can<\/span> still see the fall-foliage photos that\nthey're ending up at.<\/p>\n\n

I had one good fall-foliage sunny day<\/a>\nlast year, but otherwise, last year seemed to be mostly cloudy, including\nthe December 3rd visit to the grounds of the old Kyoto Imperial Palace that\nprovides the pictures for today's post...<\/p>\n\n\n

The grounds of Kyoto's old Imperial Palace, now a huge<\/span> park, are full of\nbeauty and kid fun throughout the year (but especially in the fall<\/a> and in the spring<\/a>). Clicking\non the “nearby photos” link under any of the photos above will bring up\nphotos taken nearby, from other posts that have appeared on my blog over\nthe years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
