柿の影 PERSIMMON SILHOUETTE

柿の影　
 

 

 

今日の午後、東山植物園に行った。青空で風がなく、いい天気で、赤や黄色に染まった葉っぱが日の光を受けて常緑樹を背景にキラキラ光っていた。紅葉が燃えるように赤い。
　特に良かったのは柿の木の入り組んだ枝や柿の実のシルエットが家屋の白壁に映っていたことだ。いい天気だったので枝や柿の実のシルエットがくっきりと黒く濃かった。写真を一枚撮った。

PERSIMMON SILHOUETTE

　　I went to Higashiyama Botanical Garden this afternoon. It was a warm winter day with a blue sky and little breeze. Red and yellow leaves were shining brightly reflecting the sunshine with evergreen trees in the background. The red leaves were so bright that they looked as if they were a burning fire.
　　What attracted me most was the silhouette of a persimmon tree on a white wall of a Japanese style house. The intricate branches and round fruit of the tree cast their shadows on the wall. Since it was a clear day, the silhouette reflected the shapes of the branches and fruit faithfully.
