寒波の後のこの暖かさは有難いです。タイガにとっても同じなのか散歩が長続きするよう、夕方は小竹向原駅へと続く遊歩道を歩きたがります。城北公園へ行くより遥かに疲れます。でも、名前を呼んでも写真撮影には協力してくれません。
I am loving this warm weather after having been hit by the second cold wave, which affected my health. Taiga also seems to enjoy the warmth, although dogs are supposed to prefer cooler weather. She is now in the habit of taking the route to the Kotake-Mukaihara Station, for the evening walk. It means a much longer walk than going to Johoku Park, and a lot more exhausting for a convalescent like me. Even so, she has no intention of co-operating with me for a photo shoot - a side eye is the best she can give me.
Ume tree with red blossoms. The actual tree was very impressive, although it may not look much in the photo.
この道は梅の木がたくさん植わっていて、今が開花ピークのようです。
On this walkway, there are many Ume trees, and they seem to be at the peak of flowering now.
見通しが良いところでは、まるで桜の開花シーズンのよう。
At some points, the view reminds me of a cherry blossom season.
タイガは他のワンコが残していった臭い嗅ぎに夢中。赤い犬と赤いタイル。
で、今来た道を振り返ると、こう。メジロやヒヨなど野鳥を眺めながらゆっくり歩くと、非常にリラックスできます。
Looking back the way we have just come. Walking leisurely, watching the wild birds, such as the White Eye, it is very relaxing.
Taiga was more interested in picking up the scent left by other dogs. A red dog walking alongside the red tiles.
トイプーのポニョ君。

帰り道、環七を渡って練馬区に戻ると近所の仲良し達と会えました。３歳の大柄なポメの男の子と、トイプーのモモちゃん。
Back in our familiar neighbourhood, we met friendly faces. A 3 years old, large Pomeranian boy, and a Toy Poodle girl named Momo.
A Toy Poodle boy named Ponyo (what a name).
CSIの番組で見たことを思い出して帰宅後に写真を最大限拡大してみたら、モモちゃんの目の中に私が写り込んでいました。（ドラマでは犯人が写り込んでいた）
モモちゃん（左）とポニョ君（右）。モモちゃんはタイガには目もくれず、私を見て大騒ぎ。
Momo and Ponyo. Momo was not interested in greeting Taiga but was excited to see me.
I once saw in a CSI drama where they caught the sight of the perpetrator by enlarging the photo of the victim. After coming home, I tried the same and found that I was in Momo's eyes, too.
この子はナゾのミックス犬男の子で、シンちゃん。長い脚と顔の両脇の長い毛はサルーキの血を思わせます。
This boy is a mysterious individual, named Shin. His long legs and the long hair at the sides of his face suggest to me that he might have a drop of Saluki blood.
