Cherry blossoms cover all the sky
Darling beauty shines and ripples ply
Though red petals wilt and dusk hues fly
Cordial kindness perpetuates for the life

Over Rouge Beach a kayak is gliding
Across still water two swans are drifting
In the sky flock of gulls is dancing
Only me completes the beach stone stacking

Path runs around meander
Brook runs around meander
A yellow cyclist is wheeling to and fro*
In meander within reach we encounter

【Behind the photo】《Chilly and Super Moon》In Toronto, I drove 80 km north to Willow Beach for sunset photography. On arrival, it was -13°C, chilly like -20°C. The beautiful beach now all covered by snow. Cars and sleds were running on the frozen lake. Walking on the stone embankment, I felt bitter cold and my toes frozen tingling.

Stroll in snowy cold winter 嚴冬雪地行

【Behind the photo】《Stroll in snowy cold winter》Today is -5°C, warmer than days before, with wind chills feeling like -8°C. In Edwards Gardens, the trail was still paved with thin ice. Lonely walkers spent their leisure on snow walk whereas lovers indulged themselves in the embrace of nature.

Professor Liu Chang-fu

【Behind the photo】《Professor Liu Chang-fu》Today's temperature is -8°C, but it does not affect my meeting with a guest from afar. I am very happy to have lunch with erhu virtuoso and professor of the Central Conservatory of Music maestro Liu Chang-fu and his wife in Toronto. The first meeting with Professor Liu and his wife in Toronto was 15 years ago.

Yellow in snow 雪裡黃

【Behind the photo】《Yellow in snow》
Weather is getting warmer and the temperature is 10°C. The snow begins to melt. I walked to the park by the pond for 4 km, appreciating the yellow leaves hanging tenaciously in the bitter snow.
