699. A keyaki leaf

A leaf of keyaki picked up at the square in front of my place.

This shows upper and lower sides of the same leaf. The photo was taken 2 or 3 hours after I brouhgt it back to home.

At this point, the red color was getting to fade somewhat compared to when I picked up.


The color visibly changes within a matter of hours.


The following shows the same leaf at this morning.

The red hue has already dissappeared.

698. Appeared this year too

A kamakiri I encountered at a high place this year too.

During the maintenance works of my antennas, all of sudden a green stuff moves in front. As it is at an awkward place, my first reaction is "huh, what?"

However, in autumns for the last few years, I have experienced the same. So I am amused with the encounter, wow it has come here again.


This is a shot after I sneaked down the roof and fetched my camera, and quietly climbed to the place again.

This kamakiri looked to stand still and to see far away as if it was considering the past and the future.

Looks autumn has finally come.
Susuki ears have come out among various autumn flowers.

At a windmill square beside the Inba marsh.

696. Aka-tonbo

The season of aka-tonbo has come.



Tonbo, frequent visitor to my place these days.

They come here at around 3 P.M. and stay for an hour or so.

Today's tonbo are yellowish. Red ones also come.

The line they perched is a part of my delta loop antenna.

They always stay at the lowest corner of the antenna.
Probably because that position is most away from the street and good for looking out over the space including the adjacent house.

695. A wonderful world

An ad on a morning newspaper.

In book adverticement, its sub-title is very important.


The sub-title of this book;

= Always trying not to work hard

= Having never, ever heeded the situations around

= Detour is what life is all about


H m m m,- - -.

If these make the society move smoothly, what a wonderful world.

The reason these catch copies make me grin is that
we perceive ourselves being in a completely opposite world.

And, no doubt, this is the point the advertizer want to appeal.

That opposite world is as follows.


Though this is not wonderful world at all,
this is the self-image of ourselves.

At this era of being shifting to the sofware oriented world from the hard one,
it is certain that the wonderful world gets a superior position to the otherwise society.
