Dr. Yoko Kelley のネブラスカ便り 9

Posted on October 10, 2003 by YokoMKelley

　
　黄葉、紅葉の季節到来！　ハワイの皆様、ちょっと想像力をはたらかして下さい。うっそうと茂ったバニヤンの木の下でお弁 当をひろげるとします。そして、そのバニヤンの木の葉が全て黄金色で、地表も黄葉がびっしり。まるで金色の宮殿の中にいるよう。周囲の木々のオレンジ色や 紫色の葉も混じって、錦をひろげたよう。

　と、ここまでは、うらやんでいただきましょう。しかし、日本の桜と同様、好事魔多し。美しい 風景は長く続かないばかりか、落葉がはじまると際限なく、落葉は自然がもたらす栄養分だからと、少々手抜きしても、かき集めた葉っぱはトラック一杯分はゆ うにあります。そうゆう次第で、こんどは雪の到来が待たれます。

Growing up, my family always went fishing.  I never really participated, though.  It wasn’t until they stopped that my interest began.  From then, I wanted an "Ugly Stik".  It was strong, but very flexible.  It was virtually indestructible.
 
One Christmas, I got enough money to buy one.  It was beautiful.  Because of its strength, I called it "Excalibur".  My friends and I went fishing every chance we got.  We fished for 24 hours straight once at four different places.  We fished on the lava rocks and cliffs.  We would often get covered by rough seas and lose equipment.  Night was scary because you couln’t tell the height of the water, even with a flashlight.
