庭に来る雀が植木鉢の水受けに溜まった水を飲んだ後で水浴びをしました。
雀が盛大に水浴びするのを見たくて植木鉢の水受けの前に水を張った鉢を置きました。
雀は野生なので新しものは警戒して近づいてこないことを忘れていました。
あとどのくらいの時間が経ったら雀の盛大な水浴びが見られるのでしょうか。
山をおりて歩いていると雀が現れます。
そのあと少し歩くと始発のバス停があらわれます。
山奥のバスの本数は少ないのでバスを待たずに歩いたほうが早い場合もあります。
雀を見ていてそんな事を思い出しました。
The sparrows that came to the garden drank the water collected in the saucer of a flowerpot, and then took a bath.
I placed a bowl of water in front of the flowerpot's saucer because I wanted to see the sparrows take a big bath, splashing around.
I had forgotten that wild sparrows are wary of new things and won't approach them.
How much longer will it take before I can see the sparrows take a big bath?
As I walk down the mountain, sparrows appear.
A little further on, I come across the first bus stop.
There are few buses in the mountains, so sometimes it's faster to walk than to wait for the bus.
Watching the sparrows reminded me of that.
