-Today’s topic

昨日、家族と一緒に蛍を見に行きました。

僕たちは日本の島根県松江市という田舎に住んでいます。

Yesterday, my family and I went to see fireflies.

We live in a rural area called Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

松江市は県庁所在地ですが、車で15分も走れば山や川、湖や海に行くことが出来ます。

昨日は東出雲という場所の山道をドライブしました。

Matsue City is the capital of the prefecture, but within a 15-minute drive you can go to mountains, rivers, lakes, and the sea.

Yesterday, I took a drive along the mountain roads of a place called Higashi Izumo.

最近は日が長いので、夜の八時頃日が沈みます。

八時半ごろ山の中の小川につくと、きれいなホタルが沢山空を飛んでいました。

The days are long these days, and the sun sets around eight o'clock in the evening.

When I arrived at a stream in the mountains around 8:30 p.m., I saw many beautiful fireflies flying in the sky.

蛍は山の近くの川に住んでいます。

僕は知らなかったのですが、意外と蛍は梅雨に産卵をするんですね。

Fireflies live in the rivers near the mountains.

I didn't know this, but fireflies lay eggs during the rainy season.

蛍は夏休みに見るというイメージが合ったので、とても意外でした。

すごくホタルがきれいで、僕の娘も喜んでいる様子でした。

I had an image that fireflies were seen during the summer vacation, so I was very surprised.

The fireflies were so beautiful that my daughter seemed to be very happy to see them.

東京に住んでいたときは蛍を見ることは不可能だったので、すごく感動し、島根に引っ越してよかったなと思いました。

When I lived in Tokyo, it was impossible to see fireflies, so I was very impressed, and I was glad to have moved to Shimane.
