Haiku about Autumn (12)


The other day I happened to see such strange sights at the bank of the Omono River (雄物川) in Akita.

I took some pictures of the autumn local scenes before sunset there, about which I wrote haiku.

Haiku about Autumn (11)


Soba, like udon and somen, is a typical kind of Japanese noodles. It is made of buckwheat flour. We can eat it hot or cold.

Yesterday I visited redflower buckwheat fields near Lake Tazawa (田沢湖) at the foot of Mt. Komagadake (駒ヶ岳)in Akita (秋田).



Red buckwheat

bloom in heights

high spirits

Haiku about Autumn (10)


According to Angelica Kolompar, my haiku friend in Canada, they celebrated Thanksgiving Day recently. I wrote haiku about that day after I visited the apple orchard in Akita.

Haiku about Autumn (9)


At the end of September, I drove up to Mt. Takao (高尾山), where I took some pictures of the countryside in Akita. I also wrote haiku after that.
