霏楊狂想．馳騁于風

 

When finally arrived at Mt. Field NP, we hardly got into it

since we were so enchanted by the colorful scene around the entrance

that we lingered on without any thought of leaving.





I was too intoxicated to give a proper utterance

and could say nothing but what a beautiful place!

Vicky told me that I’ve repeated this sentence so many times

since I arrived here.

I smiled back at her, and said ‘Because it’s really so beautiful!’

I indeed like this lovely place.



Have you ever seen that?

I was as if in a dreamland, far away from the realistic world,

with no anxiety, depression and fear existing.
 
 

There were many scenic spots in Mt. Field NP.

The only thing was that we didn’t have plenty of time,

so we took the shortest route to Russell Falls.



Autumn was the season of fungi.

We encountered a variety of fungi en route,

which became the novelest thing of this national park to me.

I could not control myself but to take the pictures one by one.

Others’ photo galleries were filled with the images of portrait;

mine was occupied with those pretty living beings.

No wonder I studied the department of biotech in university,

which really suited me, and everyone agreed with it.
 


This photo was taken from a trunk off the trail,

and I had to walk deep into the forest to reach it.

A bit of trouble, but it’s worth it.

Not regarding too much, I decided to walk in directly

at the sight of those divine beings bathing in the glory of sunshine.



Along the way to Russell Falls I put all my attention trying to

discover new types of fungi or find some special creatures.

Busy with taking pictures, I was almost oblivious of myself.

 

Just see the world through a different angle,

you would find something rare and interesting.

For example, this tender fungus was found on a trunk

that you must raise your head to discover it.

From the angle, I was able to appericiate the radial array of its back.

It’s like a fairy wandering in the forest, revealing its trace unwittingly to us.

 

The trail with dusky light seemed to direct to an altogether mysterious place.

What’s behind it?



Here came the glow worm grotto.

These special Tamanian insects would make spiderlike webs

to catch other nocturnal insects.

The pity was that, in the daytime, we could not see these unique insects.

Well, that’s alright,
because we could see the webs shining under the sunlight anyway.



And eventually we arrived at the Falls.
