わが家のイロハモミジ (The Japanese Maple Tree in Our Yard)

　わが家に一本あるイロハモミジの木は、何十年か前に神戸の友人宅で貰い、持ち帰って植えたもの。今年はかなり美しく紅葉して、いま見頃である。2011年12月12日撮影。

The single Japanese maple tree in our yard is a gift from a friend of mine in Kobe. I brought it back from his house and planted it. This year, its leaves have shown quite beautiful autumn colors, and it is the best time to appreciate them now. The photo was taken on December 12, 2011.
