I have a thing for flowers, especially those that we see every day by the road (or wild flowers). I'm not sure how many people have really paid attention to them or appreciated their existence. Well they are definitely joy, sometimes meaning of life, to me. They are laid out on a shallow layer of special soil, and are supposed to blossom as long as they can. When their time is up, people simply replace them. I guess with my scientific mind I doubt they have the ability to think or feel, but I choose to believe that they live their short lives happily, and know that it is all worthwhile.
我很喜欢花，特别是道边最常见的小花（或者野花）。不知道有多少人真的注意过它们，欣赏过它们。至少对我而言，它们就是欢乐，有时更是生命的意义。道边的小花被种在浅浅一层营养土上，热烈地开放，直到死亡，然后会被另一批小花换下。我知道它们大约和我们不同，没有思想也没有感情，但我宁愿相信它们短暂的一生充满了欢欣，充满了信念。

this is at one of the several plazas in Chinatown, I think the cobble stone thing is pretty neat

from another angle, with flower bed. do you see the sky in the window reflection? one thing about sky is that nothing can distort it.
一家银行前的喷泉。注意窗玻璃上的天空，和电线杆对比一下。没有什么能扭曲天空，是不是？

who has not loved dandelions and played with their seeds as a kid? when you grow up, when you find it lonely and missing half of its heart, would you still like it? I do.
记得儿时的蒲公英么？长大以后，看见这么一支孤独的，残破的蒲公英，你还会喜欢它么？

路边有个无名湖

说明一下，这些图片被Picasa处理小了，特别是湖的片片，直接去相册选择slide show，可以看见比较清晰的大图，然后就能看到飞翔的水鸟了～
