これから野鳥の楽園になる秋の庭

　半世紀以上前に、今の土地に引っ越してきた亡父が植えた柿が今年も生ってます。このように植物は主亡きあとまで、後世のために半永久に幸をもたらします。

　しかし、昔に比べ、人間はあまり柿を食べなくなっており、その代わりに、どこからともなくやって来る野鳥たちの餌となり、庭はピーチクパーチクさえずる小鳥たちの楽園になってます。野鳥が飛来してくる光景はとても自然で平和な佇まいです。

 More than half a century ago, a persimmon tree planted by my late father who moved to the present land is still growing this autumn as well. In this way, plant brings happiness semi-permanently for future generations until after the death of my father.

 However, compared to the past, we humans do not eat much persimmon, and instead, they will become a prey for wild birds that come from somewhere, and the garden has become a paradise and sanctuary for small wild birds that sing. The sight of many kinds of wild birds flying is very natural and peaceful.
