公園で At the park

 毎日降る雨の合間に散歩。空模様からして今日は余裕があったので、「柿の木広場」まで行けました。貸し切り状態。

Being in the middle of a rainy season, it rains everyday and we have to catch the moment to go out for a walk.  We managed to go to the Persimmon Park this morning.  We had the whole place to ourselves.


ムクゲの花が咲き始めていました。
Hibiscus syriacus, of the most common flowers in the summer, coming into season.  It keeps producing flowers from early summer to autumn.



アジサイも満開。
The hydrangea also in season, although it does not last long.  Not exactly my favourite plant since it is poisonous.

うっとおしい天気のなかでこの色はほんの少し涼しげ。


道を渡って茂呂山公園へ上ってみました。

We crossed the road to go up the Moroyama Park.


桜の時期以来 初めて来るので、モミジの葉っぱが新鮮に見えます。
We have not been here since the cherry blossom season.  The Japanese maple trees' leaves are coming out.



スーパーのレジ袋が落ちているのを見つけて突然興奮。連日の雨で散歩中に顔見知りのワンコと出会う機会が少ないので、急に遊びを思いついたようです。
Taiga suddenly getting excited when she found a plastic bag on the ground.  I think she misses playing with other dogs, since we rarely meet her friends due to the rains.


帰る前にモミジの間を散策。
Before leaving the park, we walked through the maple trees.



帰りの坂道を歩いていたら、向こうからヒナとセナがやって来ました。
As we were going down the road, we saw Hina and Sena on their way to the parks we had just been to.


さらっとし過ぎなくらい穏やかな挨拶。
