February 12 二月雪一夜大雪，一早就听见房东喊他女儿：姿姿，快起来看雪 ... 小女孩叫做雪姿，很有味道的名字。
坐在屋里看着窗外的满树银花听着房东喊女儿的声音，就想起小时候云南下第一场雪的时候，老爸也是这么一大早推开窗户就惊喊一声，小云，快起来，快起来，看下雪了。我那时是弹簧似地从床上跳起来，光着脚丫就跳到老爸身边，哪里哪里让我看看 ... 然后一家三口静静地站在窗前赞叹 ...
关于雪的描述，最喜欢仍然是洛夫<<湖南大雪--赠长沙李元洛>>里那段：
......
雪落无声
街衢睡了而路灯醒着 泥土睡了而树根醒着 鸟雀睡了而翅膀醒着 寺庙睡了而钟声醒着 山河睡了而风景醒着 春天睡了而种籽醒普 肢体睡了而血液醒着 书籍睡了而诗句醒着 历史睡了而时间醒着 世界睡了而你我醒着 雪落无声 .....
然而任看了多少优美的关于雪的散文雪的诗，看到真正的大雪覆盖大地时候那种感觉都是无可比拟的 ... 雪花落到路上，落到树枝上，落到车上，堆积成一条条完美而流畅的曲线，我甚至就只想安安静静地呆在屋子里，不忍出去，不忍踏破这浑然一体的宁静。然而这宁静又仿佛有着巨大的诱惑力，鼓动着心里的欢乐，鼓动着拥抱它们的热情 ... 所以，我通常的做法是，看到有人踏出了第一个脚印，或者辗出了第一道车辙之后，长叹一声，尾随而去
 November 09 叶翩如蝶今年的树叶儿好像不大齐心，最早的在66出口处一棵，差不多一个多月前就红了，而上个星期所谓的 peak time, 路上的景观看上去仍然差强人意，Idlewood 那条路上，右边红了一半，左边仍然绿叶茂盛，所以心里的秋意也是寥寥。只是到了这两天，出门时有落叶翩落脚下，挡风玻璃上好像每天有人放上一片小小的红色问候卡，开着车时它们在空中纷纷扬扬旋转迎面而来 ... 这时候，才觉得的秋色被渲染得足够浓了，浓得把情绪也点亮了起来。
记得高中时候写过一首诗，关于落叶的，具体都忘了，好像是以树叶的口吻讲述生命源于大地，到最后叶落腐败又和大地融为一体，大概就是尘归尘土归土的意思。想想有趣，那时候的快乐好像拾手可得，想法却复杂的紧，巴不得把每件事情都琢磨出几个弯弯几重深意来。而现在却简单了下来，走出车门，抬头仰望见一片黄叶翩跹而落，心里就只有单纯的美好两字，在稍稍有点凉意的空气中长吸一口气，快乐在瞬间飞扬起来。 September 19 今夜月明 The distance and the light can fool your eyes and, even your heart. So many beautiful poems were intoned for the moon, its pure and its flawlessness. But, should we regret for it after we know its actual image? Would we lose our appetite of beauties after we saw the truth covered by the light however it might not be so beautiful? The beauty is the reflection of the heart. Sense it, wherever it exists; sense it, whenever it shows. Sense it, whatever it might be mixed with. If you turn off your sensor because of flaws, what can nourish your eyes, your heart and your life? July 10 Growing Up Among Leaves -- The Last Two DaysLast few photos for the Robin family: The nest is already too small for them
This little bub want to get more space
It's trying to pratice its wings. I still have a little worry if they would fall out from the nest, but, is flying a inherence ? I didn't see their mother teaching them anything.
Family Photo! Hmm, where is the father? This is also the last scene I have them in my shots. They flied away without a fareware to me :( . Obviously, the mother started to drive them out of the nest ....
By the way, I saw two blue birds yesterday. One of them standing near to the nest for a long time. Maybe it wanted to use the nest ?The nest is empty now. I sometimes still have a look at it, missing them. I bet they don't. :) The mother robin was always watching out for me. Noticed there is an anonying leaf in these photos? I tried few times to remove it, all failed. One time I was found by the mother, she was so scared, flapping its wings over my head. I shrinked back. I bet it would attack me if I didn't. I even saw feathers on its neck were all standing ... Forgive me! I never tried to hurt them. After that, I gave up the idea of clearing my vision. I don't want to bother their lives or their hearts, if they have.
Supplement:
Knowledge of American Robin: They are short distance migrants, often appear in the residental areas during the breading season. They usally build their nest on fruit trees
July 02 Growing Up Among LeavesIt lasted only two weeks, from nestling robins hatched out to they flied away. I observed them daily but missed two important moments: the beginning and the end. I didn't catch how they pipped out and I didn't see how they bravely began their first flight. Whatelse disappointed me are the photos, all are some kind over exposured. They were hiding among leaves. I added the exposure compensation and used manual focusing. They are not good quality photos, espesically with the electronic version.
However, I did watch how they grew everyday and enjoyed.
In the first day they were hatched out, they looked so soft and weak. Their necks could not support their head yet, so once they tried hard to raise their heads for a while, they lolled down. As soft as noodles --- That's how my dad described about newborns to me, he said I was like that too. It sounds funny, all new lives are the same. I strangely had some feeling of a mother, worried if they can survive under such a hot weather, worried if the mother bird have enough food and water for them ...
  Is it mother? I assumed that. It's said female American robin has paler plume than the male, but I can't tell. There is only one time I saw two adult birds standing at the edge of the nest, but just few minutes.
 Under mom's stomach. Sometimes they squeeze their tiny head out of their mother's wings. I was always wondering how the mother knows they are not overpressed ... just like when we were babies, sleeping at the moms' side?
  They had black plumes from the second day. The transparency of their skins are losing
 They can keep their head raising longer. I couldn't help laughing when I saw them open their mouths to the sky so widely and so struggledly.
 This would be a nice photo if it was not so blurred. I forgot I was using low speed because of the light.
 They are all covered by black plumes, maybe just after 3-4 days. I didn't hear any sound from them yet. I was happy that they all looked healthy. They crowded together -- what kind of feeling do they have? warm? hot?
 I am close enough but I don't have a good vision because of the leaves. I couldn't capture the mother robin when she fed them.
Oh, oh, GIVE ME, GIVE ME! These make me think of the jollification of living in a big family, with brothers and sisters, growing up together. I have never had chance to experience that. I am away from the feeling of crowd, but I am glad to watching it.
 It looks as if they were shouting, but there was no sound yet. Lives for children are simple, sleep and crying for food -- envy
  There is one roll of films in my camera still, taken to one day before they left. I will post them later after they are developped. Now it's "the darkness before the dawn" -- I am longing for a digital camera. To be more accurate, I am longing for money which can bring me a digital camera. June 19 Amazing TreeThere is an amazing tree in front of my window. Its blossom lighted me even in gray days. Now it brings another surprise: A nest! Four borning eggs |
