日中の日差しは相変わらず強いですが、日照時間が少しずつ短くなって朝晩は涼しい風も感じられるこの頃です。
太陽が少し斜めになりかけた頃、買い出しに外にでるとセミの声が前とは違うことに気が付きます。ジージーと森全体が息をしているように勢いよく鳴いていたセミとは違います。名前が分からないのが情けないですが、ヒグラシとはまた違うセミです。
山の向こうからモクモク出ている雲が勢いがあってハッとしたのでカメラを取りに家へ戻って出直すと、さっきより雲は少し流れていましたが、それでも山々の緑から顔を出す雲と空全体に薄く広がる雲は美しく心が奪われます。気のせいかもしれませんが、真夏の空とは少し違うかなあと眺めたひとときでした。
The sunshine is still very strong in the daytime, but the daylight hours are shorter day by day and we feel a cool breeze in the morning and evening these days.
When the sun moved a little to the west, I went out shopping and I noticed that the sound of cicadas was different from the one before. Up until mid-August, it sounded more lively and noisy as if the woods were breathing loudly. But I guess it was a little milder than before.
I saw the white clouds coming over the mountain which were very impressive, so I went home to take my camera and came back to the same place. They became a little out of shape but they were still beautiful, in contrast with the clouds which were spread thinly high in the blue sky. It might be just my imagination, but the sky looked different from the midsummer one.
