leaves-5

Japanese maple leaves change color in late autumn, at about the same time as ginkgo leaves. Sometimes it is scarlet, sometimes cardinal red, or vermilion. It was so hot last Saturday that I was wearing a T-shirt, but from now on, wool sweaters are going to be necessary.

いろはもみじがようやく真紅に色付いた。先の土曜日は暑くてTシャツ1枚で午後を過ごしていたが、これからはウールのセーターが必須となりそうだ。
