It’s autumn!  The air is cool, the leaves are turning to pretty colours… and I have been riding my bicycle all around.

I went to Saikazai and enjoyed the view.  While I was up in observatory (展望臺) of Takatsukoyama, I took these pictures and wrote this poem:

Xan at the top of Wakayama

和歌浦 morning time sunshine
Bright and delightful
Shining on the beachside of
片男波Kataonami white sand nearly empty of people
高津子山展望台臺
Top of my head just jutting up and out
And towering over all
Autumn leaves in greens and reds and yellows
Hills clad colorfully,
From head 頂點 and sleeves in their finery,
A fine chic, to 麓foot of the mountain,
やますそ fitted and stitched with its pretty patterns
やまやま青翠、もみじの唐紅、黄金のようの光沢つやつや輝く鮮黄色
わかやまの秋のいろいろこもごも
