わが家のイロハモミジ、１２年版 (Japanese Maple in Our Yard, 2012)

　わが家のイロハモミジは、近くの公園などのものより紅葉が遅れていたが、いま見頃である。写真は昨日、二階から撮影した。昨年と比べても遅かったかと思ったが、そうではなく、昨年は 12 月13 日のブログ記事に見頃と書いていた。

The Japanese maple tree in our yard has been slower to develop autumn colors than those in nearby parks and has become at its best now. The photo above was taken at the second floor of our house yesterday. I thought that the best time had come also later compared with last year, but it was wrong. Last year, I wrote about its best colors in the blog post of December 13.
