A Part of Wordless Wednesday

金木犀の噎せ返るような甘い香りが街を覆い、透きとおる秋がそこにきた。その花は思いの外小さく控えめだが、無数に咲く花が木となりひとつひとつの家で一斉に匂う時、黄金色の存在感を示す。夾竹桃と共に夏色の赤を空に放ってきた百日紅は、僅かに残ったかけらを幾分影の薄くなった地面にひとつひとつ落とし、控えめな群青や紫へと主役を移す。取って代わるのは、金木犀のような濃厚な黄色。もはやレモンイエローの涼しげな黄色すらも探すのは容易ではない。夏と秋を隔てるのは傾きかけた陽光に輝く黄色である。

Deep and dense yellows separate the season from summer. It’s autumn. A strong but sweet scent of osmanthus, fragrant orange olive, is breathing every corner of my town. I can’t find passionately red flowers of an oleander or a crape myrtle under the blue sky any more.

It’s a little bit difficult to talk about local plants. Probably I need a lot of words with my poor English vocabulary. I hope pictures tell something.

Bonne journée, Photo, photo challenge

Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

At first, I got interested in the shape and color of this sign. It was a hot summer day, sky was blue and the metal was shining. The sign was looked like a part of summer. Then, I took this picture with my iPhone but what was this?
It said “Lead Hook” which meant that you could hang a leash of your dog on the hook. Looking into the sign, its shape was a face of a dog. Interestingly, the sign said in Japanese, “please do not use for a big dog”.
