Yesterday it was raining all day.
Today I'm enjoying a beautiful clear
autumn day again.
How changeable autumn weather is!
This morning I took a walk along a row
of ginkgoes near my apartment.
The leaves of ginkgoes are falling
in the crisp breeze.
Every autumn the falling ginkgo leaves
remind me of a tanka by 与謝野晶子---
金色のちひさき鳥のかたちして
銀杏ちるなり夕日の丘に
What a nostalgic memory
of my high school days!
We're now in the best part of autumn.
