Duck knows first when spring arrives 春到鴨先知

【Ontario Yours to Discover】《Duck knows first when spring arrives》: My photo buddy John and I went to Scarborough Bluffs Park for landscape photography. Flock of geese were seen gathering around the shore and on the floating ice. The scene of these swimming ducks reminds me a Chinese poetry "The duck knows first when the river becomes warm in spring".
As the weather was warm with air temperature 5°C, spring is coming just in two weeks. It was a big challenge to take photographs of the flying geese. Here are some of my photo assignments.

【安省景物 由你發掘】《春到鴨先知》：拍友章兄相約到多倫多士嘉堡懸崖公園拍攝風景。抵達之時，看見群雁聚集湖邊，有些停留在浮冰上面。一群群的水鴨在暢泳，這情景使我想起一首中國詩句：「春江水暖鴨先知」。現時天氣和暖，氣溫攝氏5度，再過兩周春天便會來臨。要拍攝飛行中的天鵝實在是一大挑戰，以下是我部分的攝影習作。
