黄葉の見納め Last of autumn colours

 これは昨日の天気が良かったときの都立城北公園です。

These are photos from yesterday's walk in the Johoku Park, when the weather was fine and warm.

日の光を浴びてイチョウの葉がキラキラと輝いて綺麗でした。

Leaves of ginkgo trees were sparkling in the sun, as they moved in the slightest breeze.

公園の上のほうから石神井川の対岸を眺めます。

We went up to the top of the hill to look across the Shakujii River.

対岸ではかつての草地の地下に洪水の調整池を建設中。

They are constructing underground facilities to take in flood waters as and when it occurs.

昨日と打って変わって今日は寒い一日。冷えるともろに坐骨神経痛に影響します。

今朝の散歩は隣地区の6丁目を歩きました。マンション横のサザンカが綺麗。

In contrast to the warm weather of yesterday, we had cold winds all day today.  Not a kind weather for my sciatica.

We walked in the neighbouring district this morning.  There was a beautiful sasanqua tree growing next to a block of flats.

高稲荷神社ふもとの公園ではイチョウの木の半分以上がぼうずになっていました。

We came to the park at the foot of a hill, where more than half of the ginkgo trees had lost their leaves.
