こんな風景を目撃した時、私の世界はトキと共に時間を超えていると思いました。忘れられない心象風景のようです。- I was shocked to see such a sight. I thought I traveled back in time with an Ibis. The scene was like an image deep in my mind, a forgotten memory.

羽の色が何色もあるのに落ち着く色ですね。色ありでもシルエットでも美しい。どっちの方が私好みかな。そう、白黒写真にしたら、日本画になりそうです。- The Ibis feather’s contain so many colors, yet are so soft and calm. It’s beautiful in both color or as a silhouette. Let me think which one I like more. Yes, that’s it. It could be a Japanese painting if I make it a monochrome picture.

ベアレイク野生動物保護区でなくてもトキには出会えますが、じっくりと向き合ったのは今回初めてのような気がします。- We don’t need to come to Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge to see Ibis, but it happened to be the first time for me to face it like this.

このブログポストの日本語名、「トキ」と時間の「時」を掛け合わせてみました。- The Japanese blog post title is a pun. Ibis in Japanese is “Toki”. Time in Japanese is also “Toki”. The difference is the accent. And, of course, the written characters are different as well.
