We're fairly lucky here with the number of national holidays and all the time off we get. This weekend was yet another long weekend (September 23rd was Shunbun no Hi - Autumnal Equinox day; since it fell on a Sunday, we're blessed with Monday off). Taking advantage of the long weekend, on Sunday morning Brian and I headed off the beaten track and into the mountains in Brian's Mitsubishi Pajero - a fully capably SUV. We bought beer and chu-hi, found an especially isolated location, took some photos and camped for the night.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't co-operate with us, but we still enjoyed our time in the rainy wilderness.
Most of these photos were taken with my Tokina 100mm Macro lens:
Grass with rain drops:

What's camping without a brewskie?

Japanese susuki:

Dirt in a tractor tire, saturation significantly reduced in Photoshop:

Flowers and spiderwebs in the rain:

Frog (or toad?) up close and personal:

We got back home today at about 2:00 p.m. or so. I'll eventually post a map of our travels!
