Cosmos flowers

Brought Rey to see autumn flowers named cosmos somewhere west of Kyoto. The flowers could have been more beautiful if not for the long heaty summer this year. I had expected some crowd, but there was not even a single soul at the entrance to collect entrance fees! (Yeah!) Just 3000000 flowers, Rey and I. Another 3 couples came later. Rey spotted a baby grasshopper riding on mama grasshopper's back. I had wanted to take a photo of it, but no use taking pictures of grasshoppers well camouflaged on the leaves, all green!

in the train, to our destination.

Rey was laughing at this boat "what is this boat doing here when there is no water! hahaha"
