Small Autumn...

The last month of this year will start the day after tomorrow, and Autumn here is almost coming to an end. Trying to find the last moments of Autumn beauty, my senses are functioning in full force...

What I mean by "In full force" is not like I'm desperate trying to find it by all means. Just let my senses relax, and I allow something to lead me to the beauties. 

Small Autumns. 

Dramatic Autumn leaves color changes are almost finished. Fallen leaves on the ground are now stating to become withered losing their colors. It's becoming one of my recent pleasures to find Small Autumns, such as one or two leaves which are showing me the melancholic last moments of ending one great season. 

These are typical, but very important essence for me and also Japanese to find beauties in quiet simplicity.  It is what we so-called "Wabi Sabi" sense. 

If asked to explain this authentic sense in words, it may be so difficult because it is a sort of not visible which is normally coming from internal senses. 

Gladly I was born and grew up in Japan, and appreciate my fortune and fate that I could have nurtured the senses. 

Beauties are everywhere...
