Every morning I went to Sunset View Cemetery.

I scattered rice and peanuts along a cement walkway among tombs, and the walkway has trees on both sides.

I do it this way so that more can have a share and less fighting will result.

 

At first small birds came to eat them, then came woodpeckers and sometimes doves.

Much later, squirrels came. Then occasionally a few wild turkeys came and went.

In last few years some flocks of migrating fowls came to stay in this cemetery for about two months in August and September, and they also join the breakfast bunch.

Only recently the flock of crows, numbered around 100 by my estimation, that stays around in the cemetery, also joined us.

After I have provided the foods, I stood there to have a simple breakfast while watching them eating.

 

This morning I took a few photos.

I caught only the fowls, one squirrel and some crows. I did see woodpeckers and more than one squirrel.

See selected photos attached.

 

每天早上我都去日落景墳場。

我在眾墳間的一條水泥小路上，沿路撒米及花生。小路的兩側都有樹。

如此分撒以便更多的能分享，而爭端可減少。

 

起初只有小鳥來吃，後來啄木鳥也來了，有時還有鴿子。

過了好久才有松鼠來。後來有時會有幾隻野火雞來來去去。

最近幾年有些候鳥群會在八、九月間來此墳場停留約兩個月；牠們也來參加早餐會。

直到近日，平常在此墳場棲息盤旋的群鴉，數約百餘，也參加了。

在施食後，我就站在那兒，邊吃簡單的早餐，邊看著牠們進食。

 

今晨我拍了幾張照片。

我只拍到候鳥，一隻松鼠，還有烏鴉，雖然我有看到啄木鳥及其他松鼠。

附呈選出的幾張相片。

 

 

May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!

願一切眾生早日成佛！
