紅葉 Red leaves

2012.11.12

一足早く紅葉を始めた、裏山にある一本の楓の木。
周りがまだまだ緑色でも、なぜだか毎年この一本だけ先に真っ赤になり、そして他の木の紅葉が始まり、そして終わるころに一緒に落葉するという。
こういう紅葉は、周りの緑とのコントラストがすごくきれい。
山頂の紅葉はだんだんと麓まで下りていくのでいつもより長いこと紅葉の季節を楽しめそうで楽しみである。

A maple tree with red leaves standing on the mountain behind the office.
This one turns red very early although the others are still green.
And it sheds it leaves at the same timing as the other trees shed their leaves.
Currently, the contrast between green environment and this red tree is so beautiful.
Since the trees turn red gradually from top to the bottom, from this year, we can enjoy the beauty of them longer than we could before.
