Miyajima Again

We took some rare family time and headed out to Miyajima on Saturday morning to have another go at checking out the Autumn maple foliage.
家族でもう紅葉を探しに、宮島に再び行きました。

Most people seem to be looking for this total scarlet effect, which the weather seems to be conspiring against this year
今年の天気の影響で、ほとんどの人が求めるこのもみじの真っ赤なイメージが長持ちしそうもないけど
I kind of prefer the effect of the contrast of the different Autumn shades we could see on Saturday anyway.
私は実はこの間見えた秋らしいいろどりの方が好きだと思う。


This was just a cool tree we passed!

このカッコいい木を通り過ぎた。

The leaves are actually beginning to fall so it was a good day to go really.
葉っぱは落ち始めているから、行くタイミングはよかったかも。

Weechan rushed off by herself to pray at this shrine. When we asked her what she prayed for : "To get taller soon!"
Weechanが一人でこの小さい神社でお参りしてくるって言った。何を祈った、と聞くと:「早く大きくなりますように」だって。

おみくじをとったら、「末吉」だったから結んで帰った。
She took a fortune paper, but it wasn't a very lucky one, so she tied it up to keep the bad luck in the shrine.

We took a few family shots.
家族写真を撮って



Weechan took this one! Weechanがこの2ショットを撮った!

Then went for green tea and momiji manju before heading home.
そしてお抹茶ともみじ饅頭を食べて帰った。


What a perfect morning!
完璧!
