秋の思いで : A memory of fall (Squirrel & Acorn)


 帰り道、アパートのすぐ側の路上でりすがどんぐりを食べている光景に遭遇。私が近づいているにも関わらず堂々と恐がりもせず食べ続けるりすさん。大した度胸なのかそれともよっぽどお腹が空いているのか、なんて考えつつ歩道のちょうど真ん中であまりにも無防備に食べている様子が可愛らしくてデジカメを取り出しシャッターを切ろうとしたらさすがに警戒して木の上に登ってしまいました。。


 

On my way home, I happened to see a squirrel eating an acorn on the street at near my apartment. Although I came close to her she kept eating the acorn boldly and absorbedly. I wondered if she was courageous one or she was so hungry and just dying to eat food. Because the way she ate the acorn was defenseless and adorable I felt like taking a pictureo of her. When I was about to take a photo finally she climbed up on the oak tree. Even so she kept eating on the tree.
