Flying Puppy

 飛翔的狗

前年聖誕假期在釜山海雲台沙灘近距離看到了好多海鷗，他們大多不怕人，我得以偷偷靠近觀察，他們不緊不慢、悠閒自在，讓我體會到“慢下來”的滿足感，我願意一整個下午什麼也不做，只是看著海鷗。

翻看到當時拍的這張照片時，我愣住了，這是什麼，是一隻狗在天上飛？原來是我頭尾看顛倒了，讓我在當天回首爾的KTX列車上捧腹大笑，也許這是海鷗特意跟我開的一個玩笑。

During the Christmas holiday in 2023, I got to see many seagulls up close at Haeundae Beach in Busan. Most of them weren't afraid of people, allowing me to sneak in and observe them. They were leisurely and unhurried, giving me a sense of satisfaction in slowing down. I would happily spend an entire afternoon doing nothing but watching the seagulls.

When I came across the photo I took that day, I was stunned. What is this? Is it a dog flying in the sky? It turned out that the "dog face" was actually the seagull's tail, and they looked so much alike, which made me burst into laughter on the KTX train back to Seoul. I would tend to believe that the seagull was playing a little joke on me.
