A sign of fall

We found cicada's empty shell in the courtyard the other day.

It is said that cicadas live undergraound as nymphs, maybe 2-4years. Well, he might stayed here at the courtyard since opening of Hotel Niwa Tokyo in May 2009.

This is a crape-myrtle, now beautiful flowers are blooming at the entrance.

Still the hot days continuing, we feel a signs of fall around us.
