「出淤泥而不染,濯清漣而不妖,中通外直,不蔓不枝,香遠益清,亭亭淨植,可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。」周濂溪的《愛蓮說》 劉偉澍 於2006
我的荷花攝影作品有兩篇「觀音賞荷之1」18 張照片及「荷花之美 part 2」15 張照片。許多人分不清楚「蓮花」、「荷花」之間的差異。事實上,「蓮花」就是「荷花」。
7月的桃園縣觀音鄉及新屋鄉遍地散發著清郁的蓮花香,桃園縣政府長年來的大力培育及有機栽培下,美麗的蓮花在兩地朵朵開放,成為當地著名景點,其中觀音鄉更成為北台灣最大蓮花復育地。在結合生態保育下,桃園縣政府也成功復育台灣原生動植物,除恢復昔日美好的農村情景外,也為後代子孫種下環境保育的種子。
桃園觀音鄉每到夏季便成為蓮花的樂園,其中以桃112、114、115號以及西濱道路周遭為主,優雅的蓮花田園以及因蓮花而成的休閒設施,形成主題旅遊路線。此處田野的清新,加上台灣海峽微風吹拂,每次來都有讓人舒壓的感受。選個優美的早晨來此遛躂,享受蓮花餐,午后感受農村細緻的美麗,拂得蓮花一身香。
Last weekend I went to Taoyuan County 觀音 and Taipei Botanical Garden to take picture of Lotus. June, July is a good season for Lotus picture taking. Summer is very hot in Taiwan , 35 or 36 degrees by noon time. Therefore, best timing is early in the morning while sunshine is not so strong.
蓮花 and 荷花 in English is the same – Lotus; while Chinese have a better terminology. In Chinese, 蓮花 lotus is attached on the water while 荷花 lotus is out of water by 70, 80 cm or as tall as a man. A lot of Chinese famous painters like to paint summer lotus 夏荷. 張大千 famous lotus painting worth US$1 million. You can see the pictures I took are out of water lotus and only the few are water lily on the water. Like a breeze wind in the summer and hope you like it. David 2006 Summer Lotus
