[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 25, 2018 09:00

The autumn leaves of dogwood planted along Matsuya Street are shining brightly in the morning sun.

As for this street dogwood, I just introduced red fruits this month, but now the autumn leaves are more eye-catching.

Some of the dogwood on other streets in Chuo-ku have fallen leaves without autumn leaves, and dogwood on this street is beautifully colored.

When this autumn leaves are over, dogwood drops leaves during the winter and prepares for spring.

An illumination light bulb is wrapped around the trunk of dogwood on Matsuya Street, and I was ready to color the night of Ginza during the Christmas season.

Even in late November, the roses at Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park are still fine.

madamada201805.JPG

It seems that the number of flowers has increased even more than the autumn rose season.

madamada201803.JPG

In particular, if I thought that salmon pink roses closer to a large one rather than a medium ring were fine, I introduced this rose that bloomed in the park last year on December 27 (). Was

madamada201804.JPG

Indeed, as the title at that time, "Fuyusobi" is "Winter Rose".

madamada201806.JPG

Also, dark red (close to black) medium-ring roses were about to bloom.

On the other hand, the vine roses had a lot of rose hips.

Pen drawings, rubbing brushes, and pastel paintings with soft colors that express each hair in detail are all unique to Yamanaka, and it is an exhibition where you can feel happy when you see it.

Many Christmas-like works are also on display.

Momijigawa Shintomibashi Park is a park built on the Metropolitan Expressway, beside Shintomibashi Bridge, and is a place for residents and office workers to relax during the day.

akimomiji201802.JPG

Here, several kinds of large roses are planted from the middle ring, and this blog was introduced last spring.

akimomiji201805.JPG

The park is now gorgeous with autumn blooming roses.

akimomiji201806.JPG

In other parks in Chuo-ku, the flowers are already over or have rose hips, but here, despite the different types, almost all kinds of autumn roses are blooming.

akimomiji201803.JPG

In particular, the red rose (variety unknown) in the center of the park is a large plant and blooms a lot of velvet-like red petals.

akimomiji201804.JPG

During this season, there are few flowers blooming and tend to turn their eyes toward red (yellow) leaves, but this park makes you forget that winter is near thanks to autumn roses.

In addition, tting races that are completely different in the tools used have been learned, and works that have different tastes from Bobin races have been created.

As the work is described as "the gem of thread", when you look up close, you will be impressed by its delicateness, elegance, and splendidness.

lace201805.JPG

Both the Bobin race and the tating race have a wonderful finish with nerves to every corner of the work.

lace201806.JPG

The period is from Tuesday, November 13 to 18 (Sunday), and the time is from 11 am to 6 pm

Please note that the last day will be until 5:00 p.m.
