平成最後の大晦日
ここのところの悪天候で冬の風物詩である北アルプスが赤く染まるモルゲンロートが見られなかった。今朝５時晴れ、マイナス８度。我猫ジローの主人たちは車のフロントガラス・リヤガラスにびっしりとついた氷を掻き落として城山に登った。東の美ヶ原方面は厚い雲に覆われていたがご来光とともに北アルプスが赤く染まった。常念岳から燕岳までを撮りズームアップをして常念岳を数枚撮影したところで色褪せた。東の空を見ると太陽の姿はなかった。ほんの数十秒の出来事であったが我猫ジローの主人たちは平成最後の大晦日に見たモルゲンロートに満足したようだ。我猫ジローにとっても良い一年であった。
The last day of the year of the Heisei period
Weather is bad recently, so it is difficult to see the mountains of the Northern Alps turn red at the sunrise. In this morning at 5:00: fine weather, -8 degrees. Master scratched and dropped the ice, which windshield and the rear glass of the car had. A thick cloud covered the east sky, Utsukushigahara area, though the Northern Alps turned red at the sunrise for short time of dozens of seconds. Therefore, he was able to take only several pictures. Masters seemed to be satisfied with “Morgenrot”, which they watched on the last day of the year of the Heisei period.

ふたご座流星群
ふたご座流星群（学名 Geminids）の“星空観察会”が千畳敷カール（標高2612m）で開催され、我猫ジローの主人も参加してきた。夕方まで雲一つなく流星群の観察が大いに期待できた。山の天気は分からない。夕食を終えて外に出てみると白いものが舞い始めていた。午後８時過ぎには猛吹雪となった。夜中３時以降は晴れるとの情報に主人は一時間おきに外に出て天候を伺ったが朝方6時頃まで吹雪は続いた。残念ながら流星群も富士山頂からの昇るご来光—ダイヤモンド富士—も拝むことが出来なかったが、主人は嵐の贈り物に微笑みながらシャッターを押した。素晴らしい霧氷に。
Geminids
"The Gemini meteor shower (scientific name Geminids)” was held at the Senjojiki curl (2,612m above sea level). My master participated it. Until the evening, it was all clear and was able to expect the observation of the Geminids. No one knows how the mountain weather would change. When they took a supper and went out, snow had begun to dance. It was a blizzard at past 8:00 p.m. According to the weather forecast, it would be fine after 3:00 at midnight. My master went out and he confirmed weather hourly. The snowstorm continued until about 6:00 in early in the morning. So, unfortunately both the Gemini meteor shower and the sunrise from the top of the Mt. Fuji − diamond Fuji – were not able to watch. However, he pushed the shutter with smile to a stormy present. It was the splendid hoarfrost!
付記３ 今年主人たちの庭と猫の額ほどの畑で印象的だったことをブログの付記として２回書いた。主人たちはもう一つ思い出したようだ。7,8年前に山芍薬を植え2,3年は開花時期になると今年は花をつけるかなと気にかけていたようだがその後は植えたことすら忘れていたようだ。今年その山芍薬が２輪の花をつけた。
Postscript 3
My master wrote the impressive matters that were found in their garden or in their small field as “Postscript” twice. He wants to add one other matter. They planted Paeonia obovata- “yama-shakuyaku” - seven or eight years ago. At the first 2 or 3 year, they seemed to mind when flowers come out, thought they forgot even that they planted it afterwards. The Paeonia obovata produced two flowers in this year.
