Cave art, 2021. 2/6. Mar-Apr


I tend to spend a lot of time in an area once I start.  Maria von Trapp may have wanted to climb every mountain but I want to climb every trail up every mountain.  

In the winter and early spring, I spent a fair amount of time in the corner of Yamanashi north of Mt. Daibosatsu around Mt. Kasatori.  There are some wonderful trails there.
 







Imagine my surprise when I came upon this!



I thought it was so cool that I returned a week later with this knife . . .



Those antlers are now on my wall.  They are one of my coolest possessions.













Up in Saitama a few days later






Back in Tokyo, near the Okutama Line in Ome.












This is a カモシカ(kamoshika).  That translates as serow.  I've only seen 3 or 4 them in all the times I've been in the woods.  Probably because they tend to not be found in areas where deer are present--and there are a lot of deer in Tokyo and Yamanashi.





Late afternoon hike.
