Morning flower

These pictures were taken very early in the morning.

Can you see the mist in dawn?

Friends' Reunion （in星期九餐厅）

.
这是种在户外的花，背景是塗漆的墙壁，看起来像極了室内插花作品。

Sunday we had a reunion lunch at Weekday 9 restaurant.

Ping-ting and Evan moved to Shanghai 2 years ago. Jessie's family have lived in Su-Zhou for 10 years. Evan, Jessie, Richy and I all graduated from NCKU. It is interesting to see everyone married with kids after so many years. The kids enjoyed steering boats in the lake. We could see farm animals and flowers while boating.

It feels so good to meet friends from Taiwan. Spring has come. I hope our friends will have more time to get together. I am sure kids enjoy the time together.

Su-Zhou Sicence and Art Museum

早上去苏州科文艺术中心買票，天气陰冷，没多停留，只有一路上与Wisnton走走玩玩，看到红咚咚的枫葉就給它拍了下来。
春天後母脸，天气说变就变，苏州的四季分明，相较之下台湾真的是四季如春啊！ 令人怀念。

可惜台湾的命运与未来充满不确定性，讓人难过，如果那些口口声声说爱台湾的政客停止恶鬪，我想应该会有更多人爱台湾吧！




有些枫葉长出来就是红的，不必等秋天。

開花 --〉结果

有些品种的花已结果，有些正在開。


看到小小的果子，我有点怀疑是不是桃子、李子还是梨子？本来就分不清梅花、樱花了，这下子桃花、李花、梨花也来凑一脚了。


春天蔷薇科的花种，远看都差不多，只好等果实大一点，咬它一口后才能真相大白。

Flowers

趁花季还未谢幕，就多拍几张吧！现在已拍不到鲜嫩的玉蘭花了，梅花樱花正当时，会结梅子的梅花早在三月初就花谢了（相片：http://june-simple-life.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post_14.html）；前二周还有小梅花，但很难拍，因为花小、色浅、梅树又高，看起来很美很像華航机尾的那种淡淡清爽的梅花，可惜拍起来不好看；最近看到的梅花（樱花？）花瓣大多了（下图），也很上相，其实我也还搞不清楚拍到的是梅花还是樱花。 查了网路百科，看起来樱花的葉尾比较尖，花瓣比较多，有时候開车经过好像有看到，一般的梅花花瓣都是比较圆，有机会我还要去翻翻花卉的書籍，常看到的花確叫不出名字，感觉很不踏实。

海棠花最近也是盛開期，我看过的花色有紫有红有白有粉，有黄色的但我还没拍到，特写的部分，如果看到很多小花像烟火般的放射垂下，花苞多时有如繁星点点，那就是海棠（上图）。

So is my Simple true life

爱唱歌的鸟從不想当歌唱家，聽衆一靠近牠就飛走了；水裏的鱼只是爱游泳，没想过要参加世界奥运。

我只是爱照相，不是专业的摄影师；我爱练琴没想当音樂家，只为自娱；写布落格是抒情也是樂趣，它不是名人或作家的专利。

有一天当我買了四書五经、左傳春秋戰国策的时候，不要笑我；我只想在没联考压力的时候，回頭欣赏历史与文字，一切都是自得其樂而已。

生命如此短占，有三分鐘熱度總比没熱度的好不是吗？花儿不也只盛開两週就谢了。

芭蕾舞群 The ballet dancers

我知道，这个不景气的时机下大家都很有危机意识，会以为这是一张违规罚单的相片。因此，我换个角度等没车的时候再拍一次，这次不看车子，花木组合是否像极了曼妙的芭蕾舞群？

The combination of slim twigs and flower skirts makes a beautiful ballet dancing team.

冬柳吟 Poet : Willow Trees

Ha, ha..

上次的“咏柳”有季节性，乾脆把冬柳也一倂作起来，雖然有点好笑，我还是要把我的新作Post出来：

冬柳吟

冬柳影疏寒风嚴，疑似钓线垂岸邊；冬至春分霜雪盡，驚蟄一聲葉翩翩 。

对照上次的 咏柳

春柳串串如翠玉，夏日油油似竹绿；人来舟往皆行禮，临风摇曳舞清韵。

还记得偶的笔名吧？作者：X X 黄

Zoom in, 再靠近一点

The temperature is down and will be down to 4-5 degree the following few days.

I got some more pictures to share today.

Last night when I closed my eyes before falling asleep, pictures of colorful flowers just appeared in my mind. This is really Spring in Su-Zhou. It is surrounding everywhere all the time.

If I were still young I would want to make clothes out of the flower pictures. Now I only hope someday I can make curtains or bedsheets out of the colorful pictures.

Cousin's Visit

Today Richy's cousin UT had a one-day visit to Su-Zhou. We showed him Gold Chicken Lake and Li-Gong-Ti Riverwalk. We ate lunch at Gold Chicken lake and had dinner at Li-Gong-Ti. Lunch was western food and tasted fine. Our dinner was typical Su-Zhou food in De-Yue-Lou (得月楼), one of the popular local restaurants, but the food did not fit my appetite as usual. In the morning, we took cousin UT to Winston's violin teacher's to pick one new violin. UT was very happy to find a new violin in this trip. We could feel that he enjoyed playing music a lot. He took lots of musical training in his childhood. At tea break, Richy, UT, and Winston played violin together in our house like having a family musical party.
We also went to Su-Zhou Science and Art Museum for a walk. Richy and UT had a lot to catch up in this visit. UT liked Su-Zhou very much. He used to go to Shanghai on business sometimes. We look forward to his future visit soon.

风雨不滅赏花情

Friday afternoon after school, Winston and one Demark kid played in-line-skate in the garden. The Demark kid did not speak English. They didn't communicate much but they had fun chasing each other. He even watched Winston for me. He skated around Winston and helped Winston when he fell. They skated all the way out of my sight. I was busy taking pictures of the flowers in the garden.

Saturday was a raining day in the morning but sun came out for 3 hours in the afternoon when Winston and I took a walk to the bank. We stopped for a while to watch willows, flower trees, and birds on the sidewalk of a waterway.

Last night was such a windy night. The wind howled like if our house would break down anytime. I had a dream that our house leaned to one side. And we all could not balance on the bed. How terrible! I almost cried in the dream because I don't want to keep the high debt without enough real estate.

还好昨夜的狂风加今日的小雨，未将春花打得落花流水！

阳光柳树春花

好吧！因为傻瓜相机的不够写实，我承認有时候我上相，Post出来的相片都比本人好看（不好看的都删了），可春景在我的相机下就变得不上相了，從相片裏你可能还是无法体验那种開车经过花海的过瘾，还有翠柳丝丝濛濛垂湖的那种诗意。

今天的阳光好，我补拍了几张相片，其中地面上鲜艳的花海可是我在转弯车道等候时快速拍下的，那是种植在安全岛上的季节花。

詠柳

看我的咏柳诗，宜春、宜夏、甚至宜秋呢！至于冬柳呢，唉！“冬柳秃秃寒风嚴，状似钓线垂岸邊，苦等春分霜雪盡，驚蟄一聲葉翩翩 。

春柳串串如翠玉，夏柳油油似竹绿；
人来舟往皆行禮，临风摇曳舞清韵。

这麽美的诗，我是不是要显示偶的真实姓名啊？不然人家会不会以为作者佚名或占用?

至少也要像范蘭钦一樣，讓人找得到吧!

本首诗作者筆名：不是“泛蓝青”，也不是“泛绿翠”，是“中间黄” 啦！
......

春花仔来了

雖然天气陰陰的，我还是决定去捕捉春天的花，否则像上次的鸟巢要拍时已不见了，会后悔莫及。我的相机效果有点模糊，只有太阳下才好，忍好久早就想换了，可是经济一直都不景气，没预算，将就将就吧！等我有钱的时候....

玉兰花可是我冒着生命危险拍下的，长在安全岛上，平常開车都要多看好几眼，今天刚好有两位阿伯在捡落葉，还主动要我拍下他们，我喜欢他们樂在工作的风趣。

我将几片落瓣排成花，黛玉葬花的心情也是如此吧！

-----------------------------------------------------

路旁水道边有很多柳树，可是不好停车，于是想到了李公瑅，送Wisnton上课后就直接開往李公瑅了，这种温度下去走李公瑅超舒服的（雖然一个人有点危险），拍了不少柳树柳葉特写，發现了柳树竟然也会開花，超兴奋的！相机已没电池了，太阳还是没出来，我打算等太阳天再去拍一次。

你看得出初春的柳树和夏天的有何不同吗？Oh-Yes！--大不相同，尤其是颜色上。

我的观察是：春柳翠如玉，夏柳似竹绿。My God， 我又出口成诗了哇！

就把握住这短占的靈感吧：

春柳串串垂如玉，临风摇曳舞清韻；

接下来的，想一想再补上吧！
