樹的四季贊歌 Praise of the Seasonal Trees

..In the past two years, I have been taking scenic photos across Toronto and have a feeling of close affection with trees in different places.  The words: "spring rain", "summer sun", "autumn leaves" and "winter flakes" are used to depict the changes and combination of the nature and seasons.  They easily arouse people's feeling: happiness, anger, sadness and joy. 
The beauty of trees not only evokes the glamour of charm but also adds facinating colors everywhere!  Amongst the four seasons, autumn seems to make people more sentimental but its scene drives them fascinating and longing for:  maple leaves all over the mountain and ground make maple leaf the unique Canadian flower.  The earliest best- known Chinese modern writer LU Xun also described the beauty of maple leaves in his article "December Leaves".  This album presents the beauty of trees and scenes in four seasons in Canada.

過去兩年，在多倫多走遍許多地方拍攝風景照片，與各地樹木結下不解之緣。「春雨」、「夏陽」、「秋葉」、「冬雪」，是用來描寫四季與大自然的變化和組合，容易勾起人間的喜怒哀樂。而樹木的媚態嬌姿可以散發誘人的魅力，更為各處地方增添迷人的色彩！在四季中，「秋意」容易令人傷感，但「秋色」則更令人嚮往：楓樹滿山、紅葉舖地。也難怪楓葉成為加國國花。記得魯迅在《臘葉》一文中，對楓樹有如下的描述：「這使我記起去年的深秋。繁霜夜降，木葉多半凋零，庭前的一株小小的楓樹，也變成紅色了。我曾繞樹徘徊，細看葉片的顏色，當他青葱的時候是沒有這麼注意的。他也並非全樹通紅，最多的是淺絳，有幾片則在緋紅地上，還帶着幾團濃綠。」這輯照片，透過攝影鏡頭，記錄了他們在加拿大展現的風貌和姿釆。
