紅葉間近 群馬の自然 満喫したい

　7月中旬に咲き始めた庭の百日紅【サルスベリ】は未だ咲いており、いよいよ１００日間咲き続ける気配で、その生命力に感心します。

　若き日、インド・カルカッタ滞在中では夏休みの５月に咲いていた大きな火炎樹の光景が今でも脳裏に焼き付いてます。やはり赤かったです。

　ところで、１０月中旬となり、庭に花はなくなり、次第に紅葉が始まり、落葉も始まってます。殺風景な佇まいになりつつあり、植物は１年を周期に生きてることが分かります。

　しかし、群馬県の奈良俣ダムから尾瀬戸倉にかけては、これから素晴らしい紅葉の季節なので、暫くぶりにドライブで周遊し、群馬の大自然を満喫したいです。

Dear my friends all over the world

 The crape myrtle in the garden, which began to bloom in mid-July, is still blooming, and it seems that it will continue to bloom for 100 days, and I am impressed with its vitality.

 When I was young, still young in heart, during my stay in India at the city of Calcutta, the sight of the big flame tree that bloomed in May during the summer vacation is still burning in my mind. After all it was red.

 By the way, in mid-October, there are no flowers in my garden, and the autumn leaves are gradually starting to fall. It turns out that the plants live by year, and the appearance is becoming bleak.

 However, from Naramata Dam to Ozetogura, it is a wonderful season for autumn leaves, so I would like to take a drive around with the blue car and enjoy the majesty of nature in Gumma Prefecture.
