今週の土曜日も青空・・・最高！

由良ヶ岳　Mt. Yura-ga-take

先週、成相山からの展望が見事でした。今日も素晴らしい天気で、また展望がいい所に行きたいです。この前、由良ヶ岳に登った時、ひどく霞んでいました。今日は展望がいいでしょう。もう一回行ってみます。
Last week, the view from Mt. Nariaji was spectacular. Today is another beautiful day, so I want to go to another place that offers great views. Recently, when I went up Mt. Yuragatake, the haze was really bad. Surely the view will be much better today. I'll go again and see.

今日は鳥がたくさんいました。初めて見た鳥もいました。もっとゆっくり写真を撮りたかったですが、急いで山頂に行きたかったです。 There were many birds out on the way up. Some I'd seen for the first time. I wanted to take my time and take more photos, but I was in a hurry to get to the top of the mountain.
