足跡 footprint
散歩の途中、茂みからノウサギが飛び出したので、びっくりしました。
I was surprised at a Japanese hare that leaped out of the bush when I was walking.
ウサギは跳び箱を飛ぶように走ります。
A rabbit runs as if it jumped over a vault horse.

手前はロウバイ、後ろは梅です。梅の開花はもう少し先になります。
There is a chinonanthus praecox at front side, and a plum tree is in the back. The plum tree will blossom a little later.

葉脈 leaf vein
逆光で葉脈が透けて見えます。2次脈が葉の端まで伸びずに、環状になっていました。
Leaf veins emerged in the backlight. The second vein became a loop form and didn't reach the edge of the leaf.

枯れ紫陽花 dead hydrangea
人気のないところに、枯れた紫陽花が残っていました。なんだか今にも踊り出しそうな気配です。
There were dead hydrangea in the deserted area. There was the atmosphere that these seemed to begin to dance at any moment.

酒瓶 sake bottle
瓶の形が珍しかったので、このお酒を購入したのですが、お酒を注ぎにくいのが難点です。首がもう少し長いか、あるいは、もっとなで肩であれば、持ちやすいかも知れません、でも、飲むほどに軽くなり、苦労しなくても良くなりました。
The form of this bottle is unusual, so I purchased this sake(rice wine), but there is the difficult point about this bottle. It is hard to pour sake from this bottle. If the neck is a little longer or the shoulder is sloping, it would be easy to hold while pouring sake.
However, the more I drank the sake, the more the bottle lost weight, so the trouble disappeared.
Sake is ordinary sold in 1.8 liter bottles.

ナンテン heavenly bamboo
両方ともナンテンの木と思い撮影しましたが、改めて見直すと、1枚目は低木で横に広がっているので、別の木かも知れません。幹を見るなり、もう少し注意深く観察する必要がありそうです。
When I took these photos, I thought two trees were heavenly bamboo. Later, reviewing the photos, I suppose that the first tree may not be heavenly bamboo, because it is low and wide. It seems to be necessary to observe objects a little more carefully. For example, I should watch the trunk of the tree and so on.

桜の古木 old cherry tree
樹齢400年といわれる山桜の古木です。花が咲いていないのは寂しげですが、小枝は電気のスパークのように光っていました。
This is an old mountain-cherry tree said to be 400 years old. The tree looks bare without flowers, but the twigs are shining like electric sparks.

白狐 white fox
稲荷神社には、陶器製の白狐のミニチュアが沢山飾られていました。
白い狐は、神の使いですが、神そのものと思って、お参りする人も多いです。
稲荷信仰は、その宗教の原理を記述した聖典を持っていません。同様に、神道にも聖典がありません。稲荷信仰も神道も、私にはその本質がよく分かりません。
神官は教義について何も語りません。
A lot of miniatures of a white fox made from ceramics were displayed in an Inari Shrine.
The white fox is an errand of God, but, in a praying person, there are many people who think it is God itself. Inari faith doesn't have a sacred book and Shinto religion doesn't have it, too. I understand neither the entity of Inari faith, nor Shinto religion.
The priesthood doesn't talk anything about the entity.

セルが回らない starter does not work
写真撮影に出かけるとき、バイクのエンジンがかかかってくれません。バッテリーの電圧を調べてみると正常です。次に電圧を見ながら、スタートボタンを押すしてみると、電圧が一気に下がりました。これではスターターが作動するはずはありません。
一見すると元気そうですが、まったく根性なしであったということです。バッテリーの電圧は、無負荷で測定してもあまり意味がないことを知りました。
When I was going to go to take photographs, the engine of my motorcycle did not start. The battery voltage didn't have a problem. Then, while watching the voltage, I pushed the starting button. The voltage declined in a dash. The starter cannot work in this condition.
It seemed to be fine, but it had no guts. I realized that it makes no sense to check the voltage of a battery without a load.

向き direction
ある落ち葉が他とは異なり、縦に凍っているのを見て、日頃よく表現する方向の概念が、意外にも曖昧であることに気が付きました。
縦は、長手方向の意味も持っているので、例えば、滑走路の縦方向というと、横から見ている人にとっては、それは横方向になる訳です。
When I saw one dead leaf was frozen vertically unlike others, I realized unexpectedly that the concept of the words which refer to a direction which is usually used is vague.
The Japanese word "Tate" has the both meanings of a vertical direction and a longer direction. For example, when I say the "tate" direction of the runway, it means "Yoko" (opposite word of "Tate") to a person who watch it from the side.

目の敵の外来種 regarding alien species with enmity
はびこる外来種は、トラップにかかると見つけ次第、殺処分されます。もとはと言えば人間が作ったグローバル社会が、外来種の侵入を促したとも考えられのではないでしょうか。
When an alien species with strong propagative power is caught in the trap, it is suppressed immediately.
It can be thought that the global society which a human being made promoted the invasion of the alien species.

多くの小さな泡が、垂直方向に連続して、氷の中に閉じ込められています。
この泡がもっと不規則であれば、さらに面白い造形が楽しめたことでしょう。
Many small bubbles made a line in the vertical direction and were shut in in ice.
If these bubbles were more irregular in size and position, it would make a more interesting form.
