こんにちは！ Hi, there!
先月も紹介しちゃったけど、楽寿園の小浜池
（ってか、本当にこの7か月箱根山も峠超えると県越えだし、
伊豆はどこも山越えがあって、雨であちこち道に土砂が崩れ落ちたり・・
行動範囲がめっちゃ狭いっす！）
Kohama Pond in Rakujuen Garden, in Mishima
(well, last month too, posted the photos of this pond though,
for past 7 month, Sarah only visit places very near,
still feeling scared of going beyond the prefecture (district) boundary,
and due to heavy rains, many roads in Izu are still not very safe to drive around,
since to move around we have to drive mountain roads which has some parts damaged by landslides.
えへへ・・・言い訳で始まっちゃった？
ってか、なんか、箱根、半分、それもサラのお気に入りがいくつもある半分が
神奈川って、めっちゃつらいっす！
Oops, started with an excuse?
Well, you know Sarah really loves to visit Mt. Hakone, but
there’s prefectural boundary at the top of the mountain,
and still feel so scared of crossing it.
別に、県越え禁止ってわけじゃないけどね
勝手に、いやいや、行っちゃいけないって決めているだけなんだけどね。
Of course, it’s not banned only Sarah herself decided not to go
そうだ、そうだ、楽寿園！
前回も言ったけど、サラはこの満々に富士山のお水をたたえた小浜池を見たのは
今年が初めて！
いつも、お水があるときでも、池の半分にも満たない、冬はすっかり枯れちゃっている
そんな姿ばっかりだったからね
By the way, about the photos;
The pond, Sarah watched this pond with full water for her first, this year!
when the pond has water, usually about or less than the half of what it has,
in Winter, normally no water there.
普段の満水状態はこんな感じ↑
７月の長い豪雨で富士山からの地下水も増えたって噂。
(小浜池のお水は富士山からの伏流水です！)
They say because we had so many heavy rains in July,
so as Mt. Fuji, that way so many water now
(Water here is ground water from Mt. Fuji)
池の向こうにある建物は、楽寿館
小松宮彰仁親王の別荘だった建物
明治２３年に建てられた古いお屋敷
The old wooden building was built as a villa of
H. H. L. Prince Komatusu Akihito, in 1890.
お写真禁止だけど、中の見学もできるよ！
（今は、入場できる時間が減って、入場には氏名・連絡先の記入が求められるけど）
Visitors can enter it but no photo!
(Now, the timing to enter the building is lesser and visitors are asked to
write their names and contact numbers)
秋の色・・・
Autumn colour. . .
アジサイもすっかり枯れて、色もなく、
Hydrangea flowers, already lost their colours
あっ！ちゃっかし咲いていたわ、アジサイ！
Oh, dear! You have fresh flowers?
ぽちっぽちっと！ Click! Click!
訪問ありがとう！ Thanks for joining!
