A little solo Saturday drive

After working all week crocheting I was ready to get out of the house. I didn't really have a plan so I just headed west and ended up stopping a few places that we had just been to recently. Fall colors were beautiful (still)!

Tsuta River

Tsuta Swamp

Suriennuma Pond

Jogakura Bridge

Hakkoda Mountain Roads

Here's something else I tried...a persimmon...guess they're in season right now. I wasn't sure how to eat it or if the skin is ok to eat, so I just cut it in quarters and ate it off the skin. Really sweet, soft unique texture, best described as slightly gritty like a pear but not really. Not my new favorite fruit, but I'd eat it again.
