Toogood Pond in May 五月的池塘

In a sunny afternoon in May, I went to Toogood Pond in Toronto for leisure walk and took scenic photos. I made the first visit to this pond last May for landscape photography. However I prefer autumn in Toronto because most of the leaves have not fallen and they look scattered.

Those trees cast reflections on the pond.  Their twigs and leaves are clearly defined. All these have made the autumn much richer. Now in May, these trees have shoots appeared in early spring, their leaves flourish lively and densely.  A flock of Canadian geese fly above the waters and break the tranquility of the pond. Some are having a free swim and the others have shown the nature of taking good care of their children. This album is made from photos taken in May 2011 and 2012.

Photo equipment:
Nikon D200, D40X camera bodies
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED
AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
Nikon GP-1 GPS
Cokin ND filter P121

五月一個陽光普照的下午,獨自走到多倫多的Toogood Pond 散步獵影。去年五月曾到此拍攝風景。我較喜歡這裡的秋天。樹葉仍未凋零但顯得有點疏落,塘邊樹影,枝葉分明,充滿着濃郁的秋意。五月的樹木,經過初春萌芽,枝葉都迅速生長,生意盎然,變得份外茂盛。一群加拿大鵝,展翅低飛,打破靜靜的水面,或悠然暢泳,也顯示了動物對子女的慈愛。這輯照片選自去年和今年五月份多次在這裡拍攝的照片。
