意識入心肚

舌講母語當自在

寫出一條文學路

血拼轉屋手無空

Dawn Redwood, a deciduous coniferous tree

 

Hi Thomas, Grace and Friends of H3LPs,

今哺日，以「食到老、學到老」个態度，撩大家分享「細紅杉」（Dawn Redwood)个基本常識，作對無（=可以不可以）? My bet is that most of you may not have seen this little redwood and have not heard about it in your life. Basically, there are three kinds of redwoods in the world: Coast Redwoods(海唇紅杉） in California and Oregon, Giant Sequoia Redwoods（高山紅杉） in Sierra Nevada mountains of Central California and Dawn Redwoods（細紅杉） in Central China. You may not also known that dawn redwoods is deciduous coniferous tree(落葉針樹）.These photos of a dawn redwood were taken in our local park in Columbia, Maryland where we visit at least once a week during this COVID-19 pandemic mess. Naturalists call this redwood  “a living fossil” while some other people say, “It’s an ancient tree from the “dawn” of time.” I personally call it 「細（小）紅杉」compared to two other big ones(大紅杉、中紅杉） in the sub-family.

紅杉有三種

兩種在美國加州

一種在中國內陸

三種紅杉中

海唇紅杉大又高（=Coast Redwoods)

高山紅杉大又粗  (=Mountain Redwoods)

細紅杉又細又矮（=Dawn Redwoods)

細紅杉特色

入秋針葉變暗紅

最後歸樹光禿禿

這叢細紅杉

生自一粒細種子

到今大約八十年

As you notice in one of photos, this particular dawn redwood came from the seed in 1944.

深秋銀杏變金黃

Hi Thomas and Grace,

I have recently noticed two things about Ginkgo(銀杏）：

(1) Single Ginkgo leaf looks like the palm of duck; 

(2) There are Ginkgo trees all over the metropolitan areas of Washington, DC. 

Let me share a few photos taken at TECRO Culture Center and local tennis park with you.

華府入深秋

滿城銀杏變金黃

樹葉落地像黃金

照頭擺人講

銀杏葉仔像鴨掌

宋朝以前喊鴨腳（喊=叫、稱呼）

感恩節吂到

人嫌「聖老無事做」

怕行毋着路

A pair of Bald Eagles on the top of Kent Island water tower

Dear Thomas and All,

How often you would see a pair of Bald Eagles standing high on a water tower! We accidentally saw this lovely couple on our way home at junction of Route 50 and Route 18 in Kent Island, Maryland, a famous town for blue crab cake, tow days ago. As you know, the Bald Eagle is American National Bird and symbolizes courage(勇氣),freedom(自由), strength(力量), immortality (永恆, 不朽) for generations.

一對白頭鷹

企著高高水塔頂

東張西望看無停

當地百姓講

這對夫妻戴盡久

常透飛高護家園

有名也有性

白頭公鷹號「喬治、華盛頓」（George Washington)

媽白頭鷹喊「瑪莎、華盛頓」（Martha) Washington)

 

大家應該知

禿鷹係美國「國鳥」（National Bird)

斯出現在北美洲 (North America:Canada, USA and Mexico)
