クリスマスはどう過ごしますか? " How do you have time at Christmas? "

 12月にはいって、クリスマスイルミネーションが街をにぎやかにしてくれてます

Christmas illuminations enter in December, and make the town busy.

 

それぞれの街でいろいろと工夫をしているようです。

They seem to devise it variously at the respective town.

動きのあるイルミネーションもあって、動画で見ていたただきたいけど今回は間に合いませんでした。

There were also illuminations with a movement, and it was being judged by an animation, I'd like to come, but I wasn't in time this time.

本当に田舎町に行っても見つけられます

To whatever kind of country town I go, it's found.

これは、毎年色々な指向を凝らして毎年少しずつ変えて行ってる、宮崎市のフローランテのイルミネーションです。基本は似通ってますが年によって少しずつ変わってます。

This is illuminations of FLORANTE in Miyazaki-city which concentrates various directivity, changes it a little every year and goes every year. I resemble, but the basis is a little different by a year.

みなさん、クリスマスカードは送られましたか?

Were everyone and a Christmas card shipped off?

もうすでに届いている方もいらっしゃるでしょう

The person who has already reached already would be here, too.

素敵なクリスマスをお過ごしください(^^♪

Please spend nice Christmas, (^^♪.

色づいてきた蜜柑 " The orange which has colored!! "

 僕の家の庭には実のなる木が多いことはよく紹介してますが。

It's being often introduced that there are several trees a fruit will be in my house garden.

冬場に美味しいのはミカン

It's an orange that it's good in a winter.

文旦は黄色く色づいて大きくなってます、直径1５cｍくらいあります

A shaddock colors yellowly, and is about 15 cm of diameter which becomes big.

白皮の部分が厚く、白い部分はスポンジのように柔らかいです(ここは苦くて食べられません)、実はほのかに甘く爽やかな味です。

A part of white skin is thick and the white part is soft like a sponge (It's bitter here and isn't eaten.), it's sweet and is the refreshing taste faintly actually.

もう一本、日向夏にも果実がたくさん実りました。

もう少し大きくなって黄色く変わってくると思います、今までは高価な温室育ちを買ってましたが、自分の庭で育った日向夏も楽しめそうです。

Also bore another fruit much "Hiuga-Natsu/sunny place summer oranges)".

I think it becomes a little bigger and is turning yellow, an expensive hothouse plant was being bought so far, but the  "Hiuga-Natsu" when I grew up at my garden seems also rather fun.

日向夏の方は白皮の部分が美味しいんです。実と白皮を一緒に食べます。

The one  "Hiuga-Natsu"  is that a part of white skin is good. A fruit and white skin are eaten together.

どちらのミカンも外皮の黄色い部分は油分が多く、柑橘系(当然ですが)爽やかな香り

There is a lot of oil in a yellow part of an integument both oranges, and the fragrance with the refreshing citrus system (It's natural.) does.

何年か前に紹介しましたが、いずれのミカンの川も黄色い部分を剥いて、ネットに入れて。

風呂などで肌をこすると、爽やかでやさしい柑橘系の香りが身体中に残ります。

It was introduced at the front for some years, but a river of both oranges peel a yellow part, and please put it in a net.

When skin is chafed at a bathroom, the fragrance of the refreshing and easy citrus system is left in the body.

これは、僕専用のオーデコロンです(´▽｀)

I'm exclusive cologne for this .

レモンの苗木も買ってきて植えているのですが、実をつけるにはもう少し時間がかかりそうです。

A nursery tree of lemon is being also bought and it's being planted, it seems to take time a little more to put fruits with that.

石碑を観て思う " I saw and thought a monument. "

以前にもこのブログで紹介した黄山 

Mt,Huangshan I also introduced by this blog in before.

ちょうど今、僕のもう一つのブログ　future-compass　で世界自然遺産シリーズで紹介していますが、ここで気になった石碑があります。

It's being introduced by the world natural legacy series in my another blog future-compass now exactly, but there is a worrisome monument here.

光明頂を下っていくと途中に小さな庵が見えます。

When I'm going down the bright top, a small hermitage is seen as the middle.

何故か気になったので立ち寄ってみました

I was interested for some reason, so I dropped in.

向こうの山頂には気象台にレーダーサイトも見えます。

A meteorological observatory also sees a radar site in that mountain top.

ここは「行知停」という名前で、中国の安徽省生まれの「陶行知」さんが記した詩(思想かな?)のある石碑がありました。

"Tao Xingzhi/T'ao Hsing-chih" which was the name as "Xingzhi's hut?" here and was born in Anhui-province in China, make, but, there was a monument with recorded poetry (Thought?)

中国の友人に意味を聞いたら

If the meaning is heard for my Chinese friend.

「行動は親、知識は子、想像は孫」ということで彼(友人は大学教授)の解説を簡単に言うと

「知識を蓄えつつ、先に行動をし、将来はおおきな価値を想像していこう」ということだそうです。

When it's said to be "for behavior, for a parent and knowledge, for young and imagination, my grandchild", and I say his (for my friend, professor) explanation easily.

"I'll behave first, saving knowledge, and I'm imagining the big value in the future."  said.

そうそう、ここはあの飛来石のある場所の近くなんです

Immediately, this is near the location with that fling over stone.
