This year autumn leaves goes slowly and slowly.
But now the turning color is very quikliy.

The climate is unstable this year.
(out – of – season snow, a long spell of rainy weather, unexpected high temperature, out – of – low temperature, too early snow, extreme wind, heavy rain, hailastone)
This unstable climate have an effect to autumn leaves.
We are worry about withered plants.
We don’t know how autumn leaves is going on, when is the best season to see.

Ground plants like “Geum pentapetalum” turn red a little.
Depending on weather, they will turn bright red and spread soon.

But the color is not bright.
Leaves is changing very slowly similar to the summit of Mt.Kurodake.
Some leaves on the trail are dying due to the snow.

And a big typhoon is approaching, it might affect autumn leaves.
We guess autumn leaves will not change dramatically.
