秋 🍁

Aki."Fall"

---

Probably my "favorite" season for the cooler air, the changing leaves, and the overall impression of everything settling down, fall is when everything is becoming more thoughtful, calm, and subdued. It is the season of jazz and coffee. Of leather-bound journals and books. Even the sunlight seems to be contemplating itself as it comes at its new, profound angles and strikes the windows of thebuildings in the city with a new light...

These are some random shots from the beginning of this fall. Hope you enjoy them.

Fall snacks are now in stock at your local Japanese convenience store.

The Unison Plaza community center. A great place to peer out the windows and take five for a hot coffee in the fall.

A roasted green tea frappucino now on offer at Starbucks.

My students brought this to me and said "It's you! It's Graham Teacher!"

"The butt remains." Also a message about post-Christmas/holiday body condition? ;)
