I ain't lonesome 我不會寂寞

【Ontario Yours to Discover】In April, I went to Toogood Pond in Toronto several time to shoot Canadian geese and made geese the themes of these photo albums and posts. However, it seems that these albums are lacking some images with human touch.

In fact, when I was taking photos of the geese, I still noticed the tranquility of the pond which had attracted some people to come by, strolling along the pond-side trail to enjoy their leisure activity.  They were not lonesome. Therefore, while taking photos of the geese, I still spared some time to capture people's simple but enjoyable moments.

【安省景物  由你發掘】在整個四月中，我多次往多倫多萬錦市的泰瑞池塘拍攝加拿大雁。做了多輯以雁為主題的帖子，這些照片專輯似乎欠缺了「人氣」。其實，在拍攝雁之時，我仍然留意到環境清幽的池塘，吸引不少市民，走在環池小徑，享受閒暇的活動。他們不愁寂寞，因此在打雀之餘，我也不忘捕捉了他們平淡而活潑的一些活動片段。

He

riding a bicycle

moves slowly on a trail

A white dove flies by

Sharing a feel of freedom

He isn't lonesome

他

騎著自行車  沿小徑慢駛

白鳥擦身過  喜見倆逍遙

他不會寂寞

He

Stays alone on the bridge

Idling for half-day

To see the flying geese

And their amazing flight

He isn't lonesome

獨自橋上立  呆呆大半天

終見飛來雁  欣賞妙舞姿

Have missed for years

Meeting in the park

Recalling the old memories

Reminiscing their friendly days

They aren't lonesome

They

All four on eight wheels

Of the bicycles

Ride merrily around the pond

To enjoy the family time

They aren't lonesome

They

Crew of the park

Make the sawing sound afar

They are cutting the withered twigs

Building the pond neat and safe

They aren't lonesome

要把殘枝斷  池塘更安全

他們不寂寞

I

Holding tele and wide lens

Take ripple photos with two friends

Busily changing shots with my hands

I snap him in red jogging to bridge's end

I ain't lonesome

忙將鏡頭改  射中紅衣哥

我不會寂寞
