秋の空 Autumn Sky

麗らかな秋の一日、高校時代の恩師と神代植物公園を散策しました。沖縄育ちの私たちは、日本人が普通に知っている植物のことを知らない、ということで意見が一致。美しいと思って写真に撮ったこの木の名前も、プレートをしっかり見たのに私は覚えていません。先生は覚えていらっしゃるだろうか、と考えるのは恩師に失礼でしょうか。
In a beatiful autemn day, my teacher of my high-school days and I took a walk in Jindai Shokubutu Botanical Park. We agreed that Okinawan people born and raised there don't know much about common plants which most Japanese people usually know. I don't even remember the name of a tree which is so beautiful that I saw a name plate and took a picture, and wonder if my teacher remembers it.
