sky over me

湿度が少し落ち着き
やっと暑さがやわらいだ


昼間の熱がひいたころ
家を出て走り出す
風がここちよい


一歩一歩ゆっくり走る
距離は短くていい
早く走る必要もない
ただ続ければいいんだ


繰り返し聴くのは
笹川美和の『夜明け』
この曲が本当に好きなんだろうな
飽きもせずにずっと聴いている
時に鼻歌まじりに


空がだんだん暗くなる
涼しいせいかあまりつらくない
はじめて　いつものコースを
一度もとまらず、歩かずに走った
たった数キロ、時間にして１０分強だけれど
空をながめながら　少しうれしかった


hot days


but less humid today
warm wind of sunset
can be felt cool to me

one step and the other
keep running


listening miwa sasagawa
『夜明け』  yoake:  'dawn'




getting darker
i feel less hard
it was the first day
i kept running all the way
only a few kilo meters and about 10 min run though




this is where i live

a corner of a big city
but i like its sky

afternoon at river shore

it was a hot day
so we escaped to the mountain


where we found a nice shade,


cold water and cool wind

i was to just sit relax

but found myself excited taking pictures

in black and white

tried to catch lights and shadows 

water flows

 and children moving fast

'mama, i found a beautiful stone with a circle pattern'
said my son

and my little nephew
the river running fast
and some places were deep
but he tried to get into
(with our care)

bud just opened

on the stony ground

that's how the woods grow

and fern dried from hot climate

wild tiny flowers are fresh like morning dew

heavy dahlia in a garden along the country road

is a lazy summer siesta

on the way back
the sky was incredible
that i wished i could have get the whole sky
tried to catch it from the car
so it came like this

agapanthus

lily of the nile, 

i brought 

only one root

from my former place

and it has grown multiplied

evergreen leaves

blue big ball of 

tiny blue lilies

in the sun light

 

and in the sunset low light

 

and the unfocused one
reminds me of 

shadows 


and washi lace mobile

アガパンサス


前のすまいから一株もってきて
だいぶ増えた


葉は冬でも緑で
小さな花は青く
ベランダでも元気にそだつ


まりのような花が
ぼやけた写真は
和紙レースのモビールみたい

plant color

silk cloth
dyed with plant colors
soft and pale
























i hung them out to dry
late afternoon
it was a windy day


the clothes swinging

 

like a contemporary dance

fire fly

it was raining
on tanabata day
7th of july
like almost the every year it rains


we left home after the early supper
it took almost 2 hours through traffic jam
but the rain, oh it rained so hard one time,
has stopped while we're driving
it's almost dark outside, 8 o'clock


riverside or stream, should i call,
in country area with a few houses
today on the road few cars parked aside


got out
feel cool, all clean after the rain
breath the air full smell of grass
the smell i feel relax and at home


walking along the stream
with hydrangea all along
(which i could not see anymore for the dark)
my nine year boy takes my hand,
he's scared a bit, it's dark
frogs calling, sounds of water


rain drops twinkling among leaves
now we can see even a few bright stars among clouds..
but what we came here after the long drive
is for much fantastic lights:


fire flies

it's a bit late this time in early july
june is better, but we didn't have time
and today it was raining...we were almost unexpected.


but there they are....
flying or on leaves with tiny lights on and out
sometimes flying even over our head




i tried taking pics but of course almost in vein
i see only the black on the display
but tried anyhow to catch anything i can


shadows of leaves like lace trimming the woods
sky like old sumie paintings
everything keeps secret of woods

早い夕食を急いで食べて車に乗り込む
渋滞で２時間もかかってついたのは
緑したたる郊外の町
民家もまばら
いわゆる里山が保存されていて
田んぼがのこっている


車を降りる
雨はやんでいた
道中かなりどしゃ降りで引き返そうかと思ったくらいだが
雨のおかげでほかに人影もなし


ひんやりした空気が気持ち良い
昼間の蒸し暑さとがうそのよう
濃い草木の匂いが空気中にたちこめているようだ



















小さい流れに沿って進む
ずうっとあじさいが咲いているようだ
もう暗い　夜８時
９歳の男の子はわたしの手をにぎる
せせらぎの音　かえるの合唱　鈴虫も
森の中は意外にききなれぬ音でみちている


草の葉の陰で水玉きらきらひかる
雲間に明るい星さえひかっている


小川をそれて遊歩道を進む
もう人家もみえない木々のあいだ


はじめに土手のうえに小さい光がみえた
それから、さらにそこここに。
すぐ頭のうえをふらふら飛んでいるもの
とおくでつよい光を放っているもの


蛍のひかりは　ときに「幻想的」と形容される
おおげさかなと思うけれど
ひかってはやみ　またあちらでひかる
あかるいもの　暗いもの
いちようでないからかもしれない


ダメもとで写真をとる
はかないひかりを前にしては
カメラの液晶上の文字さえ明るすぎる
パシャという音がうるさすぎる
あたりはひそやかなおとでいっぱいなのに


蛍はうまく撮れなかったけれど
真っ暗な液晶が役にたたずとも
ぼんやり明るい空に木々のかげ
森をふちどるレースのようでもあり
影絵のようでもあり
墨絵のようでもあり
