Ah, lovely autumn
Posted: November 14, 2010 | Author: Doug 陀愚 | Filed under: Photography, Poetry | 2 Comments »Autumn is always my favorite season for its beautiful colors among other things:
[17] 千早ぶる Chihayaburu
神代もきかず Kamiyo mo kikazu
龍田川 Tatsuta-gawa
からくれないに Kara kurenai ni
水くくるとは Mizu kukuru to wa
Which the good folks at the University of Virginia translate as:
Even when the gods
Held sway in the ancient days,
I have never heard
That water gleamed with autumn red
As it does in Tatta’s stream
Enjoy!
P.S. Taken one sunny day near work a week ago.

Hello and welcome to the JLR! Yes, I can’t help but agree. I love kabocha among other things.
