Roseate Spoonbill(ベニヘラサギ)
The most wonderful experience in Texas was canoeing on the river near the house. Host father had a mud water canoe so we paddled it and went into some narrow creeks, passing under bridges and fallen trees.
Main channel of the river was busy with people on big motor boats, but no one came into narrow, shallow creek except for us. And there was the place for birds, such as Roseate Spoonbill, White Ibis, Tricolored Heron and so on.
Again, I remembered another children's book called "Minnow on the Say"

まみさん、
ReplyDelete本当にのんびりのんびり過ごしていました！
でも、ホストマザーからのメールによると、ヒューストン一帯は、わたしが帰った数日後に襲ったハリケーン・アイクで、いまだにめちゃくちゃなようです。平和にゆったり流れていた時間が今、どうなっているのか心配です。
Ting,
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolors of our area, esp the spoonbills along the creek. You really caught the essence of life in our area. Your artwork is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
