Thanks Hugh !

It was rain on the star festival's final day today but events continued.
I purchased "Baby Castela (ball pancakes)" at the shop of pink banner as I was hungry.
They were sweet and delicious.

No more pics of the festivals at the moment but please let me introduce so fruitful ginkgo nuts which I found in the backyard of Osaka Castle last week. They looked really delicious

... are they ripe?

Sorry MM. I should have added some more explanations.
They were not ripe yet as still green and months too early to eat but I had been tempted to eat them because they resembled with the delicious green UME (Japanese apricot) which are more favored as the sweet UME wine in my country.

Green UME.

Thanks Thor, Wojtek and Jim for kind comments !
As this backyard of the castle is just a vacant space and not so famous for tourists, there are not many people but many birds.
The old days atmosphere of the castle still remain
