Little Bee's Second Day (with 10 pictures)

#2010-1019

Little Bee's grandmother (i.e. my wife) wanted me to take more pictures of him. She says that our "xiao baobei" (小寶貝; dearest babe) is so cute and lovely, and I totally agree.

Including his young parents (my son and his wife), we are all trying our best to take good care of this newborn baby. Well, now he's only two days old, so I always kept the photoflash off when I took pictures of him with my camera.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore!

Little Bee's First Day (with 10 pictures)

#2010-1018

This is Little Bee's first day. He was born this morning at 4:36 a.m. to be my first grandson. Ah! How cute the little boy is! How lovely he is, could you just imagine?

To celebrate his coming to my family, and to this world, I've taken quite a number of pictures of him with my Nikon D80 (digital camera). What's more, I can't wait to share with you some of those pictures I took this evening -- about 15 hours after he was born.

(Please forgive me if I have violated the right of portraiture -- I haven't discussed with my son or his wife whether it is appropriate to put the following pictures onto my blog . . . )

寫給小蜜蜂的第一首詩（五言絕句）

----- Written on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010 by Mookoo Liang for his first grandson, Little Bee, who will probably be born very soon in the following week as the doctor predicts. "Little Bee" (小蜜蜂) is a nick name for the baby, whose real name will be Liang Yi-Feng (梁益丰), because the last character of the nick name (蜂) and that of the real name (丰) are homophones.

寫給小蜜蜂的第一首詩（五言絕句）

宇宙誰能懂？

春秋自作工；

小園花簇簇，

只為迎新蜂！

數年後作者補註：有一說，此詩末句「犯三平」不妥，應改字
以吻合平仄格律；倒也不難改，改「迎」為「接」則符合
「仄仄仄平平」了。不過，若以現代標準漢語來朗讀，
仍多少覺得「迎新蜂」比「接新蜂」語意更妥
而語音（聲調）也更有 起 ~ 伏 ~~ 變化 ....

無題（五言絕句）

----- by Mookoo Liang, who composed this short poem in the particular style "Five-Character Quatrain" on Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2010, as he was very impressed by a beautiful valley that he "stumbled across"[see pictures below] while he and his wife were hiking along the Bird-Watching trail in Xitou Nature Education Area, in Nantou County. This poem and the attached pictures are part of Mookoo's blog-work entitled "溪頭剪影 (登山賞鳥至幽谷)," which has been posted on Oct. 12, 2010.

無題（五言絕句）

樹老春心在，

秋來葉未黃；

兩人同步道，

幽谷也風光。

沿著步道走，你常會有新的發現。

Walking along this trail, you can find something special.

再回頭看一眼----我已在妳跟前！

"Hey! Have you found anything new today?" she smiled at me.

山景美麗，盡入我眼簾。
(A Scene of Green!)

2010年10月12日，年過半百的某對夫妻來遊溪頭「賞鳥步道」，行經一處山谷（參見上圖及下圖）深為美景所感動，為人夫者，遂草擬一首「五言絕句」無題詩，寫實兼抒情之作，在此分享，願您喜歡：

樹老春心在，秋來葉未黃；
兩人同步道，幽谷也風光。

照片中的鳥叫做「藪鳥」（我聽別人說的）。

這幾隻「人造鳥」是高速公路「南投休息站」拍到的。
