植物、果樹木に見る身近の秋　　Autumn seen in plants and fruit trees around us

植物は日照時間の長さと気温の変化で季節を見分けます。

添付した写真は実家の栗山の栗、家の庭の柿とザクロ、そして散歩道途中の林の中のアケビです。

今年も例年のように豊かな秋の到来を告げています。

Plants distinguish the seasons by the length of daylight hours and changes in temperature.

The attached photos show chestnuts on my parents' chestnut hill, persimmons and pomegranates in our garden, and akebis on my walking path in the hill, all signaling the arrival of another rich autumn, as in previous years.
