Random Wanderings / きまぐれ散歩

Last week we had a beautiful weekend, so Mikako and I decided to take one of our regular walks. We were just going to head to Umegaoka and back (a round trip that takes no more than about thirty minutes). As we were walking, we discovered another walking trail that we hadn't noticed before. We decided to follow that trail instead not knowing where we would end up. What we did discover was that the trail itself was considered a park and was listed as one of Setagaya Ward's 100 scenic spots.

先週は散歩日和の日だったので、いつもの散歩コースを歩くことにした。うちから梅ヶ丘の往復コース（いつものペースだったら３０分位の散歩）。梅ヶ丘に向かう途中、歩いた事のない緑道を発見。急遽散歩道変更。でもどこにたどりつくとはまったく分かりません。とりあえず冒険だ。歩きながら、この緑道に関する情報を発見。書いてあとのは「この道はゆりの木公園です」。緑道自体が公園になってる。その上、この公園は世田谷区百景に選ばれてる所です。

Take a look at the little animals we encountered on our walk.

As we were heading further and further away from home, we decided to start on our return trip. Our 30 minute jaunt was into its second or third hour. The trees along the road were very picturesque so I of course had to take a couple more photos.

だんだん家から離れてるので、そろそろ帰りのほうに歩く事にした。３０分の予定の散歩が二時間かs何時間経過してました。道の横に立ってる木が凄く綺麗でつい写真を撮りました。

As we continued on our way home, we walked through a place called Hanegi Park where we came across a stone monument for "Haru no Tsuki" haiku poem which translates to "Spring Moon" and was written by Teijo Nakamura.

帰り道に羽根木公園の中を通りました。春で梅が有名ですが、今は秋。梅以外にあったのは中村汀女句碑。その岩に「春の月」の俳句が書かれてる。

The last picture from our random walk is this one below of the row of trees inside Hanegi Park.

We finally made it home after a three and half hour walk.
