この時期に咲く公園の花、タマスダレ。これを見ると秋の到来を実感します。公園ではもうすぐヒガンバナも沢山咲くので楽しみです（うちのはもう花芽が20cmほどに伸びていますが）。
Zephyranthes candida
何か月ぶりかでドッグランに入ってみました。初めてみる白ラブの子が近寄ってきました。名前はジャック君、４歳だそうです。
We went into the dog park for the first time in months.
A 4-year old, male white Labrador, named Jack, came to greet us.
Due to the virus, not many users in the dog park.
Jack was the only large dog and he could not find another to play with.
公園への道でときどき出あうスバル君、１歳２か月、がいました。元は保護された犬で警戒心が強く、いつも道ですれ違ってもタイガに対して積極的ではありませんが、今日は何と自分から近づいてきました。
Subaru, male Shiba mix, came towards us. He was a rescued dog and extremely timid. Every time he sees Taiga on the street, he becomes nervous.
Yet, he was completely different today - he sought out Taiga.
Subaru started rolling in front of Taiga as if to invited her to play.
Taiga looked baffled.
Subaru persists.
He gets up and continues to invite Taiga.
追いかけっこが始まりました。
So, a chase begins.
Taiga trying to ambush from behind a tree.
A Corgi jumps into the fray.
Taiga is hunted.
Everybody having fun.
I just do not recognise Subaru who was so timid.
タイガが疲れたので一旦ここで中止。
As Taiga was running out of energy, she put a stop to it.
スバル君が「なんでぇ」と言わんばかりに転がり始めました。
Subaru: "Why ever not?"
An old terrier (14 years old) arrives.
He takes time to say "Hello".
さっきからはちゃけているスバル君も、まるで敬意を払うようにおとなしく挨拶していました。
Even Subaru seems to pay respect to the senior dog and greets gently.
When the terrier was gone, Subaru resumed his appeal to Taiga.
Taiga casts a sideway look
もう、こうなったら無理矢理 遊んでやる！
Subaru takes the matter into his hands.
Taiga at 7 years old, cannot respond the way Subaru expects.
Subaru is disappointed.
柴犬のカリー君が到着したので起き上がりました。
He notices his friend arriving.
カリー君も１歳台なので、スバル君とちょうど良い遊び相手のようです。
Curry, male Shiba Inu, is of the same age as Subaru.
They are well matched in energy.
A new arrival, female Jack Russell, jumps into the fun.
獲物になっています。
She becomes the prey.
She comes running towards me, with her eyes fixed on my camera.
As Curry and Subaru continued to pursue her,
she came towards me, again looking at the camera.
