そして今年も北へ then, this summer we went to North Japan

沖縄旅行が廃案となり，この休みはどうしようかと悩んでましたが，息子の一言で，急遽（前日だ），北海道の礼文島へ。日本海側で最北端の島。近所に住んでいながら一度も行っていなかった島。高山植物の宝庫で，お花がきれいな時期でした。地震や水害を感じさせないひととき。写真は空からの利尻島。礼文島の桃岩と猫岩。礼文島の花。道道106号線で見た牧草ロール。墓参り前日は旧友たちとWINEで酒盛り。ちょっと飲み過ぎだ。お一人様２本・・・・みたいな。今日で休みも終わり明日から仕事。年々休み明けは辛い。





The trip to Okinawa becomes an unemployed plan, and I worried because of this rest what about we should do. For a single phrase of my son, in haste (It is the day before) ,We went to the Rebun-island of Hokkaido. It is a northernmost island on the Sea of Japan side. I am an island that had never been visited though it has lived close by in the past. The island was a treasure house of the alpine plant, and the flower was beautiful time. the earthquake and flood damage are not felt. The photograph is Rishiri-island from the sky. Momoiwa(Peach Rock) and Nekoiwa(Cat Rock)of Rebun-island. Flower of Rebun-island. Pasture roll seen in on the way the 106th line. I had had a drinking bout with WINE with old friends on the day before it visited a grave of parents. We drank WINE too much for a moment. two-bottles one person ････ To the way.. My vacation ends today, too and I will work from tomorrow again. Yearly, I feel the rest dawning painful.

夏の風物 Things of summer

今年は梅雨が長い。いつもは７月中旬の祇園祭を境に雷鳴轟き，夏がやってくる。でも今年は雷鳴轟き過ぎて，ゲリラ雷雨，場所によっては竜巻と日本の夏らしくない。
もう８月に入ったのに照りつける日差しも少なく，多雨で雷におびえる日々になりつつある。そのすきま隙間を狙って遊びに出かけるのだが，なかなか難しい。釣りも１度だけ。釣果もほとんどなし。

天神祭は行きそびれたが，昨夜のＰＬ花火は楽しんだ。写真じゃ電柱が邪魔になっているが，近くで見られたからその音響と視野いっぱいに広がる花火に圧倒されました。昨年の東京の江戸川花火より規模が小さく感じられたし，往年より派手さは無くなったが，やはり近くでみる花火ではＰＬの花火は関西では圧巻。１時間はあっという間。行きも帰りも渋滞はそれほどでもなく，楽しめました。さあて再来週はどうしよう。実はまだ，沖縄行きが決まらない。

The rainy season is long this year. It will always come here on the boundary of Gion-Matsuri（festival) with thunder in the middle of July. This year , however it not seeming usual, is a tornado and be summer of Japan according to the guerrilla thunderstorm and the place. The sunlight that blazes though another August came is also a little, and every day at the time of which it is frightened to the thunder because of the frequent rain is coming. It is quite difficult though we goes out to have a good time aiming at the good condition climate. Fishing also : only by one degree. Most fishings are none. we enjoyed last night's PL fireworks though the Tenjin-Matsuri(festival) missed going. It was overwhelmed to fireworks that extended to the sound and full view because it had been seen in the vicinity though the power utility pole was obstructive in the photograph. I felt in Kansai, fireworks of PL are masterpieces in fireworks still seen in the vicinity smaller than Edogawa fireworks of last year's Tokyo scales though gay disappeared in the past. One hour pasted instant. Be able it to go, to return, and to enjoy that it was not even too much by congestion. Ahhh,Let's very do the week after next . It has not decided for Okinawa actually yet.
