湖畔散記

Flora and fauna around the lake 

1/2/2025

秋日午後遊客疏落，公園小湖沉靜無波。此時身心舒泰，除些微蟲鳴鳥叫聲四下寂靜無比。此刻獨坐湖畔椅中，靜賞無干擾的美景，享受獨坐冥想的自由。

A peaceful place suitable for admiring the scenery. One can also meditate without disturbance from outside world

冬湖水冷鴨先知

卧冰休憇的大雁

Wild Geese on ice

大雁在寒風中不畏寒，遠在北國的故鄉比這邊還要冷，湖面結冰我們還能在上面打盹哩！

麻雀的樂園

Rooftop  sparrows chatting 

吱吱復喳喳 麻雀叫不停

牠們在聊些什麼呢？能感受到一塊兒覓食、休閒 或唱一曲快樂清晨小調歡娛的氛圍？

秋天的落葉 

Autumn Leaves

心形楊樹葉片落滿湖邊，拾節斷裂枝葉，攜回家做勞作材料

Yellow heart shaped cottonwood leaves covered the ground by the lake.  Picked a twig with leaves intact home for my art projects  =>

The heart shaped yellow cottonwood leaves were used as tree crowns under which a pair of young couple sat facing each other in the serene landscape of the lake scene.

小樹上的迷你紅柿

隣家有株野生的柿樹，柿果成熟季節光秃的枝枒上掛著不到十粒小果子，(見下圖盤中外圈五粒）中間的是農夫市集買來最小的柿子。

美麗的織錦圖案

仰望上空，落盡葉片釀著蒴果的枝條，交織出一匹美麗的織錦圖案

野玫瑰和玫瑰果

Wild Rose & rose hip* 

        

 道上一段行人罕至的地段，未舖過的砂礫道旁，雜樹蕞生  

One day while walking on an unpaved path,  we saw a young lady picking something from a few wild thorny plants.  This chance meeting allowed me to

learn something about the flora and fauna of a place so close, yet unfamiliar to me. She declared that the red berrylike rose hip has been used to make tea in her country…..

一日見道旁一女子，正採擷一些似棘荊叢中的紅色果子，在她國家她說這果子(Rose hip 玫

瑰果)可以泡茶喝 *（右下圖 photo below ）

                                

………………

She said she’s from Ukraine 她來自烏克蘭 …………             

There isn't enough reliable information to know if rose hip from other types of rose is safe in medicinal amounts. Rose hip can cause some side effects, such as diarrhea - ………WebMD
