I often associate the word "temple" with red color because it symbolizes sacredness which drives away evil sprints. And indeed, temples and red colors stay in good harmony in photography, too.

I took photos of red spring maple leaves about a week ago so today is the second time this year. These red leaves looked rather faint and beautiful.

By the way, I happened to find red Azalea flowers on the steep slope near the front gate of Sojiji Temple. I rushed to the upper area to see groups of the red flowers.

Oh, great! The red color looked pretty genuine. No evil sprints can go across this sacred area at all.
