甘エビ、初経験です

2つのお皿にはそれぞれ同数の甘エビが載せられています。
一つは見ての通りの尾頭付き。もう一つはすべての殼を剥いで身だけとなったもの。こんなにも小さくなっちゃうんですね。
能登半島の金沢近郊で甘エビを賞味したのが私と甘エビとの最初の出会いでしたが、こちら米国でも遭遇できたことに感動です。
今日の夕焼けでも、初めての感動がありました。オリンピック山脈に夕日が沈んだ後に見出した、別の種類の夕焼けです。山脈向こう側ではまだ水平線上に太陽が顔を出しているはずです。そしてその後徐々に水没して行くのですが、その時に放つ赤い光線は左右広く水平線上に伸びて、真っ赤なゾーンを作っていたのです。いつもは山脈に太陽が沈むと即退散していたのですが、今回は息子に引きずられて延長戦をそうやって楽しむことができて、新たな発見につながりました。
ひとりでできること、ひとりで気がつくこと、ひとりだけで理解できることなんて笑っちゃうくらいに限られた小さな範囲に過ぎません。他者からの新たな見方や協力が得られると、新たな発見につながるものです。
"良識のない者には愚かさが喜び。英知のある者はまっすぐ歩む。
よく相談しなければ、計画は倒れる。多くの助言者によって、それは成功する。"
箴言 15章21～22節
One person's family shared a large amount of sweet shrimp that they caught today. I've heard about it, but it was the first time for me to eat it here. It’s also said that I did experience of local production and consumption.
Each of the two plates has the same number of sweet shrimp on it.
One comes with the tail and head, as you can see. The other one is all shelled off and only the body is left. They become so small.
My first encounter with sweet shrimp was when I tasted them in Noto peninsula near Kanazawa. So I'm thrilled to have encountered it here in US.
Today's sunset was also the first time I've been impressed with a different way.
It's a different kind of sunset that I found after the sun had set over the Olympic Mountains. On the other side of the mountains, the sun should still be on the horizon. And then the sun would be gradually submerging into the ocean and the red rays of light would stretch out wide on both sides of the horizon, and that were creating a bright red zone. Normally I would have left immediately when the sun set over the mountain range, but this time my son dragged me to overtime, so I enjoyed seeing it, and it led to new discoveries.
It's funny what you can do alone, what you can realize alone, what you can understand alone,
It's only a small scope, limited to about recognizing the whole world. The New perspectives and cooperation from others can lead you to new discoveries.
"Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,
but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed."
Proverbs 15:21-22
