Cal Poly Pomona ~Animals~

Healed by animals today in Cal Poly Pomona.

カルポリ大学ポモナ校の動物たちに癒された1日。(動物編)

Dropped by Kellogg Arabian Horse Center, donated to the university by Mr. Kellogg (known for the cereal company), to admire beautiful horses.

They were too busy digging in the food to show their pretty faces but I was excited to be so close to them and pet the friendliest one. Precious things...

 

かのシリアルで知られるケロッグ氏が大学に寄贈したというケロッグアラビアンホースセンターにて、美しいお馬さんたちを観賞。

みなさん食べるのに忙しくてかわいいお顔を見せてくれず。でもこんなに近づけたし、懐こそうな子をなでなでできたのでよかった。

Here's the cow farm inside the campus. They were all scattered and far from the fense in the beginning. And then... they all started staring at me curiously and slowly walking towards me. Two cows, three, and five gathered up side by side in the end. I have no idea what they were thinking. Did they want to defend themselves or they thought I brought them some food or maybe I looked like a food...? -I saw some of them drooling in fact! It was getting dark. I said good-bye to these mysterious moomoos.

さて、こちらはキャンパス内の牧場。はじめはフェンスから遠いところに散らばっていた牛さんたちですが、、、興味津々といったかんじで一斉にこちらを凝視、ゆっくりと近づいてきました。二頭、三頭、ついに五頭、きっちり一列に並んで。いったい何を思ってか？護身の構えか、それとも食べ物を持ってきたと思ったのか、まさか私自身を食べ物と思ったか、、？何頭かヨダレをだらっと垂らしていたし！暗くなってきたので、そんな謎の牛さんたちに別れを告げ、退散。

There are so many wild animals and birds fearlessly running and flying around everywhere on campus. And look at this guy. He stopped running, glanced at me and stood up as if he wanted to challenge me. No, I don't want to fight you, please! Wild animals here seem to be less afraid of people.

キャンパスの至る所で野生動物や野鳥が大胆不敵に駆け巡って(飛び回って)います。そしてこの輩ときたら。ふと立ち止まり、ちらりとこちらを一瞥し、立ち上がって、いかにも挑むような様子。いえいえ、結構です！どうやらここの動物たちは人をあまり恐れぬようです。
