Nanto

I had an overnight stay in Nanto, a city in Toyama Prefecture and had a very pleasant run this morning. Air was cool and the area was lovely.

Rice is growing very well. Farmers should have a very good harvest this autumn.
There was a grey heron sitting on a rock in the middle of rice fields. It flew away when I tried to take a better photo.
On the roadside were these cute and beautiful flowers. These are the pleasures of running in a country side.

I love to explore different areas when I run. Actually, I cannot stand running in the same area. It may be from my background that I was a cross country runner in high school and college.
