一个人坐了五路公交到底。太阳暖暖的照着。
海涂上有很多小螃蟹从洞中爬出来晒太阳，有渔民在海涂上劳作。

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

今年的樱花开的特别灿烂。公园里的樱花开了一批又一批，原来不同花期有不同品种的樱花。
可惜花儿还是凋谢的很快。花开花谢，有人结婚，有人离婚，有人生子，有人死亡。
而我将继续一路清苦，一路孤单。我在镜头里欣赏这即将流逝的美景。。。

我想起我那些年轻幼稚的学生们不也正像这些含苞的，或者盛开的花儿们吗。
遗憾的是他们并没有体会到青春的美好，每日坐在课堂里化妆，吃零食，睡觉，玩手机。
我常常想，如果上帝能够让人类活两次，那么，大部分人都会对他们第一次的经历做出巨大的调整。
譬如我自己，我是否应该毫不犹豫的退出这不能改变我自身和我学生现状的教学舞台？

很久没有来自己的这个小小空间了。这些百无聊赖的日子，既没有拍很多的照片，也没有做出其他的惊人之举。
日子真的是像一块荒芜的土地。

昨天去了一趟公园，才知道花儿几乎落尽，一个月前还是灿烂的花儿啊，只有那绿叶在开始疯狂的长着。。。

喜欢上看戏是很久以前的事。记得儿时由于没钱买票，常常和邻家小孩在戏开演十五分钟后偷偷的逃票潜入剧院，为此屁股还挨了老爸不少的巴掌。那时的我其实并不懂得看戏，也听不懂戏中人所唱的戏词。或许邻家小孩对戏的专注感染了我，每每有新戏上演，我们总会混入人群去过把瘾。而让我最为羡慕的却是那戏装和角儿们脸上的油彩，穿上那衣服，戴上头饰，拿起道具，剧中人不管男女老少，都那么神采奕奕。那一转身，一回眸，一抬手，每个表演都看得我瞠目结舌。

今晚，我看了这场在露天表演的戏。看到到场的观众看得如最如痴，如同当年年少的我。不由得想：有戏看的日子真好。

但我却已经不是当年那个懵懂的小丫头了。我用我的相机记录下这令人难忘的瞬间，希望日子能常常这样美好。
都说人生如戏，戏如人生，这台上和台下的人们啊，愿你们的人生之戏越演越好。

I joined a wedding tonight. I think I am a better love witness than all the guest presented because I was invited as a wedding photographer as well as the friend of the couple.
 
To most local people, it is a special wedding because the girl married an Indian guy. so, people appeared to be more quiet during the dinner. I didn't hear lound talking and finger guessing as usual in the local people's wedding.

During the dinner, the Indian friends played their traditional music and they all started to dance.Their music was  powerful and the rhythm of the music almost made me want to join the dance. However, all the Chinese kept quiet and they just stood there to be a witness.

some people were wondering why she married the Indian not any rich local guy. I got the clue when the music was on.It was the characters of the nation that attracts her. Everyone is seeking the freedom of the soul and this spirit directed her towards her true love no matter what kind of ups and downs happened or will happen in the life.

I also noticed the waitress stood their quietly and they forgot to serve the dinner.I wondered if these girl were dreaming of their own wedding...

Tonight, the new couple wrote their love on the wedding cake, which was designed as a book based on their request, they take it as a symbol of the beginning of a new life.

I am always touched by the atmosphere of the wedding party. sometimes, I would be sleepless when coming back from the wedding party. May God bless the love birds!

For more wedding party photos, you can visit the link below, i am not sure how long it can last there.

Followed is a short essay from a net friend. I was simply touched by her short yet powerful words of her true love feelings. So I made a copy and may all loving birds be together forever.


I want to be your dearest girl friend

You pet me gently which makes me feel so good, I feel sure of being cared, which makes me locked in your magic power, without any note of wandering about anymore, just want to settle down in your arms, to be your dearest girl friend.

You provide a shelter for me to shield me from storm, fear and uncertainty, your constant concern weights heavier than any romantic empty words, your love is dearer than freaky flirtation, you make me feel dear of myself too. I want to be your dearest girl friend.

永昌堡。永昌堡坐落在永中街道境内，是一座名人辈出、文化底蕴深厚的历史名城，是温州市十大旅游景点之一。永昌城堡雄伟壮观，南北长778米，东西长445米，城高8米，周长2866米，堡内有11座形态各异的明代石拱桥，状元府、都堂第、王绍志故居等18幢明清年代古民居，小桥、流水、人家，构成了江南水乡集市图，衬托出城堡古色古香的风味。素有“江南故宫”之称的永昌博物馆结构精微，是浙江省仅存的一座民建古城堡。2001年6月被国务院列入全国重点文物保护单位。

8月26日那天很热。当我几经周折，终于找到传说中的永昌堡。心头的感觉是复杂的。尽管他已经被列为全国重点文物保护单位。我却看不出昔日图片中的那番风味。

在这里，我要感谢我的朋友在大热的夏日，陪我乘公交，换三轮车前往我想像中的永昌堡。虽然永昌堡就在温州龙湾境内，对于不熟悉路线的我来说，却不是那么容易找到哦。

同时附上一张永昌堡的旧图片。小了点，将就看吧。

泰顺回来也差不多有两周了，感触颇多，一直没有整理照片，今天先发几张。

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.  During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.  Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: 'Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.  While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate.  In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups.  They are just tools to hold and contain life.  The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life  you have.  Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us.  God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. 
The happiest people don't have the best of everything.  They just make the best of everything that they have.

 Live simply. Love generously.  Care deeply.  Speak kindly...
