　　 楓花雪岳

看過(guò)美國(guó)猶他州的布萊斯峽谷、大峽谷等國(guó)家公園以及自然生態(tài)山川、湖泊，不禁讚嘆大自然真的是老天爺賜給我們最珍貴且無(wú)價(jià)的寶藏!每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該珍惜與愛(ài)護(hù)這些鬼斧神工的自然美景。

春夏秋冬各有其美色，春天植物冒出綠葉新芽，萬(wàn)物欣欣向榮，百花齊開(kāi)，尤其多姿多采的櫻花更增添春天的嬌媚。夏有荷花和涼風(fēng)，也有雨水、滋養(yǎng)大地；秋天則是收穫的季節(jié)，樹(shù)葉變色，將大地點(diǎn)綴得色彩鮮艷，賞楓是秋天最浪漫愜意的幸福。冬天的蕭瑟讓大地展現(xiàn)另一種味道，白皚皚的銀色世界，更吸引許多滑雪、賞雪、泡湯的人絡(luò)繹不絕、熱血沸騰。

這些年來(lái)我走過(guò)60多個(gè)國(guó)家，也到過(guò)美國(guó)大峽谷、猶他州、加拿大亞伯達(dá)省、日本東北到歐洲、北歐等國(guó)家，很多地方甚至一遊再遊，只因?yàn)榧竟?jié)不同，景觀也不一樣，心境與感受自然不同。不管是春櫻、夏岳、秋楓、冬雪都令我流連忘返、捨不得停下相機(jī)快門。

有時(shí)不必捨近求遠(yuǎn)，臺(tái)灣也有世界級(jí)美景，不管阿里山、日月潭、太魯閣、合歡山或花東海岸線，都令許多外國(guó)人陶醉。開(kāi)車太快，騎自行車才能留住身邊的美景，有時(shí)間，規(guī)劃一趟單車環(huán)臺(tái)之旅，一步一輪跡去深度認(rèn)識(shí)臺(tái)灣，你會(huì)深刻感受到臺(tái)灣人的熱情友善，並發(fā)現(xiàn)很不一樣的臺(tái)灣之美。世界這麼大，只要慢下腳步，用心去看，處處皆美景。

楓、花、雪、岳是大自然最美麗的色澤，也是我們最嚮往的景色，往往它們就在我們的周遭，細(xì)心品味，人生就愈精采豐富。

Nature's Splendor - Maple Leaves, Flowers, White Snow, and Lofty Peaks

After viewing Bryce Canyon in Utah, the Grand Canyon, and many other gorges, mountains, lakes, and rivers, I cannot help but feel amazement at these priceless treasures of nature. Everyone should cherish and protect these uncanny natural wonders.

Spring, summer, fall, and winter all have their special beauty. Plants burst forth with green leaves and new growth in the spring, and everything flourishes. Many flowers bloom in the spring, and the spectacular cherry blossoms add a flirtatious touch. Summer gives us the Lotus flower and cooling breezes, while summer rains nourish the Earth. Fall is the time of harvest. The leaves change color in the fall and lend a festive appearance to the earth; viewing the red maple leaves is a romantic delight. The chill months of winter have their own distinctive flavor. Countless warm-blooded individuals enjoy skiing, playing in the snow, and soaking in hot springs and hot tubs amidst the white world of winter.

Over the last few years, I have visited Utah and the Grand Canyon in the United States, Canada's Alberta Province, Japan's Northeast, Europe, and Northern Europe. I have visited many places more than once, because the scenery changes in different seasons, giving me fresh new feelings and impressions. The spring cherry blossoms, summer peaks, autumn leaves, and winter snows have all been unforgettable, leaving me no time to put down my camera.

Of course, sometimes there is no need to seek beauty far away. Taiwan also has much world-class scenery, and Taiwan's Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, Hohuanshan, and East Coast have enchanted many foreign visitors. But while driving is often too fast to really appreciate the scenery, cycling provides sufficient time to soak in and retain one's beautiful surroundings. If you take a cycling trip around Taiwan, you can gain a profound feeling for Taiwan, and appreciate the friendliness and passion of the Taiwanese. You will also discover the unique and different beauty of Taiwan. The world is so big, but you only have to slow down and look carefully to see that there is splendor everywhere.

The colored leaves, flowers, snow, and mountain peaks bear beautiful tones from Nature's brush. We always long to gaze at these sights, which are all around us; the more we see them, the richer our lives will be.
