冬。ようやくやってきた白銀の世界。私は雪とともにやってくる冬鳥の時期を待っていた。
Winter. The world of silvery white that came at last. I was waiting for the time of the winter bird that came with the snow.

春は両生類の産卵。夏は爬虫類の最盛期。秋は魚の遡上。冬は哺乳類や北極圏の鳥。
It is laying eggs of amphibians in spring. It is the golden season of reptiles in the summer. It is going up of the fish in autumn. It is a seal and a bird of the Arctic Circle in winter.

でも、私が撮りたいと思う生き物は、晩秋から初冬にかけてほとんどいない。緑の無くなった灰色の景色が、白銀の世界になるのを待ち焦がれる。
But there is almost no living thing I want to take a picture of from the late autumn to early winter. I long for that green lost gray scenery becomes the world of silver.

ベニヒワは冬とともにやってきた。私の好きな鳥の一つ。今年も私の気持ちを楽にしてくれた。
The redpoll came over with winter. The one of my favorite birds. It eased my feeling this year.
