Near my home 11

Leaving home around 9:45, I headed for the subway station to go to my classes at Miyagi Gakuin University. Along the river there is a large area of what appears to be goldenrod. The man, who owned most of this area and still lives here, cuts the vegetation back once in a while, but he always leaves the goldenrod. The hayfever sufferers are probably not to happy but it does look nice. Across from the goldenrod is a little foot bridge. The paved walk along the top of the embankment belongs to the government so it is not legal to build a permanent bridge. This one is not attached at the left end. It is just sitting on the ground. Actually it is not used much and seems to be nothing more than a short cut.
The guy who cuts the weeds has a very nice garden in front of his house. Actually his wife takes care of it. I sometimes stop and chat with here when she is out weeding. I do not know the name of this plant but the red berries and the green leaves are very festive looking. The taller reddish plant changes colors in the fall and exhibits some beautiful variations.
This is the plot of land where they hold the river festival each summer. The little local shrine used be on this plot but it was moved from the public land to private land exactly opposite the original site. It moved less than 10 meters so the god is probably not too upset.
