新年の始めには近郊へ足を延ばして散策するのが恒例だった。今年は未だ遠出を諌められているので、自宅付近をのんびり歩くにとどめた。なるべく視界の拡がるところを求めて川縁へ。空堀川は乾燥しきった冬場には殆ど水が無くて残念だけれど、空は広い。川幅は狭いものの水が流れている野火止用水縁で市天然記念物の欅を見上げた。葉をすっかり落とした枝が青空を背景に拡がっている。不自由なら不自由なりに、できるだけ心をひらいていいものを見つけよう。本日の更新は表紙の写真（空堀川から見る空模様）とこのページの写真（東村山市恩多町「万年橋」袂に聳える欅）です。昨年の「短信・更新」はThe Latest Notes 24に収納しました。前回までの掲載写真は写真カレンダーに。ご訪問ありがとうございます。本年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Usually, I have been used to taking a long walk in the suburbs at the beginning of a new year. However, I am not perfectly well now, so I decided to walk around my neighborhood. As I am fond of the spacious view, I went to the riverside. In winter Karabori River rarely has running water, but the sky is beautiful over it. Nobidome Canal is a narrow stream, but the rivulet was running through it. I looked up at the branches that had lost all their leaves and were spreading themselves to the blue sky. When I am not free, I try to find something good in my limited circumstances. Update Today: the photo on the index page (the sky view seen from the riverside of Karabori River) and the photo on this page (an old zelkova tree beside Mannen-bashi Bridge). The Latest Notes of 2025 are listed with previous notes. Previous photographs are in the Photo Calendar. Thank you for your visit.
