菊花展 @ New York Botanical Garden |
週末夫Sは出張中で留守だった為、JBと2人でNYボタニカル・ガーデンに行って来ました。
今回一番の目的は、今年で2年目になる菊花展。
菊に飽きてしまったJBは、ベンチを見つけてリラックス。
菊もいいけど、池にいる鯉探しの方がずっと楽しかったようです。
鯉も日本文化の立派な代表ですから、よしとしておきましょう。
日本を離れたこの土地で、「日本の秋」を感じることできとてもうれしかったです。
"Kiku at New York Botanical Garden"
My husband was out of town on business this past weekend, so JB and I took a day trip to the New York Botanical Garden. Our main goal was to go see the Kiku(Chrysanthemum) exhibit. What a beautiful exhibit it was! JB showed some interest in the beginning but after a while he was done with the flowers! He had more fun spotting the Koi fish in the ponds than appreciating the flower art. Well, at least the Koi fish is still a big part of Japanese culture, right? I was very happy that we were able to feel a touch of Japanese autumn in New York.
