Lake sights less visited 尋常湖景拾遺

尋常湖景拾遺

Lake sights less visited


雨後初晴天空掛滿棉花似的積雲

Cumulus clouds piled up on top of the mountains in the sky


Less visited sites including the hidden path 
beyond the wooden bridge


落葉舖地秋意濃


湖畔有株柳樹 近冬柳葉轉黃
A willow by the lakeside  its leaves turning yellow 
靜坐柳岸旁的公園座椅
一覽靜悄悄的湖景
今天水鳥群缺席  或者是午休時間?


雲霧繚繞若隱若現的山頭
In the background of the lake view is Mount Umunhum *
*背景中遠山峯頂是加州 Santa Cruz 高峯之一
這座山名為 Mt. Umunhum
Meaning the resting place of hummingbirds


枝頭上的蜂鳥

剪紙蜂鳥之側影

湖中有不少水禽 亦有候鳥造訪 
然而少見蒼鷺 heron
右手邊的大鳥一兩年前驚鴻一瞥
左邊的小蒼鷺
去年初見亦從未再現身                          A lone heron once stopped by
This might be the offspring of the other heron 
岸上有人獨釣寒湖水


下右為一棵美國梧桐樹,落葉墜滿一地,左手邊為梧桐葉
Sycamore trees and their leaves
再下方為 Cottonwood tree* 楊木和心形的落葉



*Populus deltoides, the eastern cottonwood[2] or necklace poplar,[3] is a species of cottonwood poplar native to North America, growing throughout the eastern, central, and southwestern United States as well as the southern Canadian prairies, the southernmost part of eastern Canada, and northeastern Mexico.[4] - Wikipedia
