A serow!

It was very fine morning, therefore I rode on my bicycle and went to my favorite place where I lately like to go, Mt. Sakata-yama. It took less than twenty minutes from my home but there is a steap slope at last so I had a very hard time going up.

I parked my bike in the parking space and took a few minute walk to the gazebo. On the way to it, I suprisingly met a serow, who was standing to look at me. I thought we had only around ten meters between us so it was very exciting to see him.

It was fine but hazy in the sky so I couldn't see even Mt. Izuna or the other mountains around Nagano. And I enjoyed to have a very nice breeze there. But I was very satisfied to see a serow this morning. On the way back to my bicycle I found a butterfly stopping on the flower of dandelion. I later found it looked like 'Usuba-shiro-cho'.

I like this season.
