朝散歩 Morning Walk

 今朝は城北公園へ。いつもの広場とは違う入口からで、木陰のある並木道。

We went to the Johoku Central Park this morning, entering the park from another direction where there was an avenue of trees with shades.


9月中旬に入っても高温・高湿度なので、空にはまだまだ入道雲っぽいのが出ます。
Already mid-September, but still hot and humid.  Reflecting this, the clouds in the sky are those typical of mid-summer.

写真だけ見ていると涼しそうですが、人間にとって現実は汗、汗。体の動きも精神的な抑揚も最小限に抑えて、汗をかかないようにしての散歩。
Looking at the photos, it may seem cool and comfortable, but the reality for me is that I am sweating constantly.  The only thing I can do is to stay calm emotionally and make as little movement as possible.

日向ではタイガの毛が日光を反射してキラキラ。
Taiga's fur sparkling in the sun.


こうやって好き放題されても、最も汗をかかない努力で冷静に。
Even when she does what a dog wants to do on a cool grass only a few days after her shampoo, I try to remain calm so as not to perspire more than I can help.



水飲み場がある日陰で一休み。
We had a rest in the shade where there was tap water for Taiga.

帰り道、初対面の子に会いました。シーズー、9歳のモモちゃん。
A new face we met after leaving the park.  A 9-year old Shi Tzu girl, named Momo.



他所の人は好きだけどワンコは苦手だそうで、タイガとは距離を保ったままでした。
She likes people but not other dogs, so she kept a distance from Taiga.
