At Gyeongbokgung Palace.

@Seoul - The changing of the guard ceremony at Gyeongbokgung Palace.

A few weeks ago, it had a heavy fall of snow in Seoul,
and the temperature was so low every day that the snow didn't thaw.
That's why I spent the most time at home by reading books, and watching DVD.
But the snow was thawing slowly, so I finally went out after so long.
The temperature was still a bit low(-8℃), but it's a cloudless blue sky.

It was interesting to see The Royal Guard Changing Ceremony.
The ceremony is held between 15:00 and 16:00.

One autumn afternoon.

@Seoul - I went to the park to see autumn's sign of presence.

The trees in the park, their leaves gradually begin to change the color.
I enjoyed walking there, and then I saw the dog...
These days, he must also enjoy his daily walk in early autumn.

色づいてきた葉を眺めながら　公園をのんびり散歩。

散歩中、トコトコとはずんだように尻尾を振りながら歩くカレに出会った。

初秋の感じる公園で、毎日の散歩を楽しんでるような　そんな後ろ姿。



I paid close attention to the movements of him, and then he might notice it.

ピタっと立ち止まり　秋の気配を感じとっているカレは

私の熱い視線も感じとったみたい。

秋は　いろんなことに敏感になる・・・そんな季節かも。　♪~

大きな雲が太陽を覆っていく。

青空が次第に黄金色に染まっていくのがキレイでした。
