Japanese percimmon trees turns their leaves to beautiful orange color in autumn. There are several kinds of percimmons. Some of them are so tasty! Birds loves them, too.




A butterfly named Uraginnshijimi (Curetis auta MOORE)

She visited my garden and rested on the leaf, then flew away. From under you see the wings look silver.
