今朝も雲ひとつ無い青空のもと、気持ちよく公園散歩。イチョウの枝が朝日を浴びてキラキラ輝いています。とても12月とは思えない暖かさ。
Another beautiful day with absolutely clear blue sky. The branches of ginkgo trees were glittering in the morning light. I cannot believe how warm it is for a December.
We met a new face - a male Jack Russell Terrier, less than 4 months old, with a name "Macho". I could not keep my face straight. He is fearless with a high energy level, and I think he will be a good match as a playmate with the miniature Black Shiba Inu, Kevin, who is also less than 4 months old with high energy.
タイガ婆ちゃんは、ジッと耐えていました。
Taiga, like a granny, was very patient.
毎日これを延々とするので、ボーダーを飼いたい人は相当の覚悟が要ります。
公園上のほうへ移動すると、ボーダーコリーのシェリー君がフリスビーの練習中。ボーダー特有の集中力とスタミナで、ママがフリスビーを投げてくれるのを待っています。
When we moved to the higher ground of the park, we saw Shelly, a male Border Collie, practicing with his frisbee. He is a typical Border Collie, with extreme fixation on his toy and lots of stamina. He urges his mom with his eyes.
People who want to get a Border Collie should watch her do this for hours every day.
帰り道、公園近くの民家で見た満開中のサザンカ（左）と、鈴なりの柚子の木（右）。日当たりバツグンの広い庭に、色んな木が大きく育っています。
激しく動いたあとは水分補給の休憩。お疲れさまでした。
After the vigorous work, he takes a well-earned break.
On our way home and near the park, I saw a garden with a sasanqua tree in full bloom (left), and a Yuzu tree with lots of fruits (right). This garden enjoys full sun and has many trees - a dream garden for me.
私好みの八重咲。いいものを見せていただきました。
The sasanqua flowers are deep pink with double petals. They are so pretty and just watching them makes me feel content.
振り向くと、ジッとガマンのタイガ。目で退屈を訴えています。
When I turned around, I saw Taiga with her judging look. Sorry, let's go home.
