Yesterday Ms. Y and I climbed Mt. Shiroyama and Mt. Takao.
We crossed Kobotoke-touge Pass on the way,
where we were filled with thanks to see beautiful Mt. Fuji.
The air was very cold and clear. There was some frost there.
Then we reached the top of Mt. Shiroyama.
We had onigiri-lunch there viewing glorious Mt. Fuji.
After lunch we walked to Mt. Takao.
Mt. Takao was crowded with more hikers for autumn tints.
It was indeed one of the best days for enjoying autumn colors.
What a great day we had!
Every Thursday I enjoy playing the harmonica
at a community center.
Every other week a famous teacher comes
and teaches us how to play the harmonica much better.
I love playing the harmonica, though I am not a good player.
By the way, do you know "ko-tei(emperor) daria", "Tree Dahlia"?
It is a very tall tree, taller than a roof of the house.
On the way to the community center, I saw the flower.
It was very beautiful against the blue sky.
I didn't know the name of the tree and asked a gentleman
who was passing by. He told me it was "ko-tei daria".
