 A walk by the lake

湖濱漫步 7/10/2021

In the park a flock of Canadian Geese bathed in the lake

A spot on the edge of water with unobstructed view of the lake

A pepper tree by the lake

Pepper trees* line the trail near the lake 

* Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, rosé pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree,^[3] peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul (in Mexican Spanish site),^[4] Peruvian mastic,^[5] Anacahuita o Aguaribay^[6]and Pepperina^[7]) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet) -from  Wikipedia 

The drooping tree branches swaying in the wind 

spreading ripen seeds on the ground

here and there

                                                    

Seeds of pepper trees

look like colored culinary pepper corns 

not recommended for use as condiment

繞湖半周                                                                                             

踏上樹影搖曳的步道                                         

踩著光影躍動的韻律走回停車場

沐浴完畢 樹蔭底下

午睡時刻的一群野鴨 

Canadian Geese tucked in their necks

taking a collective nap under the shade
