A METROPOLITAN GARDEN

There is a Metropolitan garden named Rikugien just near our house. It takes about 5 minutes by walking.

 我が家から徒歩５分の所に六義園という名称の都立庭園があります。江戸時代は柳沢吉保の庭園でした。

The tinted autumnnal leaf season has just started here.
 
紅葉の季節が始まりました。
 
 
The big tree was placed by ropes to protect it from the snow.
We have almost no snow in winter,but the traditional skills mainted.
 
冬に雪はほとんど降りませんが伝統行事の雪吊りがされました。
 
 
There were almost no winds in this day.
 
風はほとんど有りませんでした。
 
 
The snow protected tree is very beautiful.
 
 
 
I took this photo from our top house. This cluster of trees grows in this metropolitan garden.
 
 
We could see Tokyo Sky Tree far away from this garden.
 
 
After four days .
 
４日後、紅葉が始まりました。
 
 
Colorful leaves by Sunshine.
 
太陽の光を浴びてカラフルに輝いています。

    Sky Tree! Wheee! ^^

    Rikugien is absolutely stunning in autumn, especially the maple forest towards the back of the garden. You're so lucky to live so near to it, and we're lucky that we can enjoy your photos! :)

    六義園は明日から紅葉ライトアップが始まるようですね。週末の取材先として、日々「モミジ情報」を見てるのですが、六義園は今、「色づく」という表示で、この週末はまだ微妙かなと思ってますが、どうでしょう。現在モミジで「見頃」と出てるのは、ちょっと遠くて「府中の森公園」「武蔵野公園」「殿ヶ谷戸公園」でしたが、都心より気温が低いんでしょうね。湖面に映る雪吊りの写真が素敵です。

      世空旅心様　こんにちは。下見を兼ねて行ってきました。　ハゼの葉だけ綺麗に紅葉してました。
      　まだ空いていると思いきや多くの人がいました。　紅葉にはあと１週間は必要と思いました。
      　植木職人が雪吊りの仕上げをしてました。　紅葉の写真はとても難しいです。

    Loved the gardens of Japan. Could not visit this one. The Tokyo Sky Tree looks fabulous :)
    Have a happy day :)

    今年の紅葉は関西の方が進んでいるんでしょうか。奈良公園ではもみじが赤く燃えるにはまだ時間がかかりそうですが、南京櫨も銀杏も盛りを過ぎました。風のほとんどない日の湖面は鏡のようですね。

      stardust 様　　おはようございます。　紅葉の地域差が有って面白いですね。
      　こちらではナンキンハゼは見ごろは終わりました。ハゼが丁度見ごろです。イチョウはもう少し先です。
