想换个工作环境却难如登天。
幸好有老婆一路陪伴，默默的支持我。
不幸的事情却接踵而来，在自家院子里走着路都会把脚崴了。
结果哪都不能去，只好在家里当宅男拍花。
希望坏的日子很快成为过去，未来的日子都是开开心心的。

2010年4月的告白。。。
最近工作很不如意，前途茫茫看不清方向。
想换个工作环境却难如登天。
幸好有老婆一路陪伴，默默的支持我。
不幸的事情却接踵而来，在自家院子里走着路都会把脚崴了。
结果哪都不能去，只好在家里当宅男拍花。
希望坏的日子很快成为过去，未来的日子都是开开心心的。
想换个工作环境却难如登天。
幸好有老婆一路陪伴，默默的支持我。
不幸的事情却接踵而来，在自家院子里走着路都会把脚崴了。
结果哪都不能去，只好在家里当宅男拍花。
希望坏的日子很快成为过去，未来的日子都是开开心心的。

Come on in
Betty
What's going on, Joe?
Why am I so scared?
What was that woman saying?
She sounds so weird, I don't understand...
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
You said you loved me tonight
Shall I just go? Say something, Joe.
JoeWhy am I so scared?
What was that woman saying?
She sounds so weird, I don't understand...
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
You said you loved me tonight
Shall I just go? Say something, Joe.
Have some pink champagne and caviar,
When you go visit with a star the hospitality is stellar
BettyWhen you go visit with a star the hospitality is stellar
So this is where you're living?
Joe
Yes, It's quite a place,
Sleeps seventeen,
Eight sunken tubs
A movie screen,
A bowling alley in the cellar.
BettySleeps seventeen,
Eight sunken tubs
A movie screen,
A bowling alley in the cellar.
I didn't come to see the house, Joe.
Joe
Sunset Boulevard, Cruise the Boulevard,
Win yourself a Hollywood palazzo
Sunset Boulevard, mythic Boulevard
Valentino danced on that terrazzo
Betty Win yourself a Hollywood palazzo
Sunset Boulevard, mythic Boulevard
Valentino danced on that terrazzo
Who's it belong to?
Joe
Just look around you
Betty
That's Norma Desmond
Joe
Right on the money that's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond....
Betty That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond....
Why did she call me?
Joe
Give you three guesses,
It's the oldest story in the book
Come see the taker being took
The world is full of Joes and Normas
Older woman, very well-to-do
Meet younger man, the standard cue
For two mechanical performers
Betty It's the oldest story in the book
Come see the taker being took
The world is full of Joes and Normas
Older woman, very well-to-do
Meet younger man, the standard cue
For two mechanical performers
Just pack your things and let's go
Joe
You mean all my things? Have you gone mad?
Leave all these things I've never had?
Leave this luxuarious existence?
You want me to face that one-room hell
That murphy bed, that rancid smell
Go back to living on subsistence?
It's no time to begin a new life
Now I've finally made a perfect landing
I'm afraid there's no room for a wife
Not unless she's uniquely understanding
You should go back to Artie and marry the fool
And you'll always be welcome to swim in my pool
Betty Leave all these things I've never had?
Leave this luxuarious existence?
You want me to face that one-room hell
That murphy bed, that rancid smell
Go back to living on subsistence?
It's no time to begin a new life
Now I've finally made a perfect landing
I'm afraid there's no room for a wife
Not unless she's uniquely understanding
You should go back to Artie and marry the fool
And you'll always be welcome to swim in my pool
I can't look at you any more, Joe.
Norma
Thank you, thank you, Joe,
Thank you....thank you
What are you doing, Joe?
You're not leaving me?
Joe Thank you....thank you
What are you doing, Joe?
You're not leaving me?
Yes, I am, Norma
Norma
You can't! Max!
Joe
It's been a bundle of laughs
And thanks for the use of the trinkets
A little ritzy for the copy desk back in Dayton
And there's something you ought to know.
I want to do you this favor,
They'll never shoot that hopeless script of yours,
They only wanted your car.
NormaAnd thanks for the use of the trinkets

That's a lie! They still want me!
What about all my fan-mails?
JoeWhat about all my fan-mails?
It's Max who writes you letters
Your audience has vanished
They left when you weren't looking
Nothing's wrong with being fifty
Unless you're acting twenty
NormaYour audience has vanished
They left when you weren't looking
Nothing's wrong with being fifty
Unless you're acting twenty
I am the greatest star of them all

Goodbye, Norma

No one ever leaves a star.

And as dawn breaks over the murder house,
Norma Desmond, famed star of yesteryear,
Is in a state of completely mental shock
NormaNorma Desmond, famed star of yesteryear,
Is in a state of completely mental shock
This was dawn, I don't know why I'm frightened
Silent music starts to play
Happy New Year, darling
If you're with me, next year will be...next year will be..
They bring in his head on a silver tray
She kisses his mouth...she kisses his mouth...
Mad about the boy!
They'll say Norma's back at last!
MaxSilent music starts to play
Happy New Year, darling
If you're with me, next year will be...next year will be..
They bring in his head on a silver tray
She kisses his mouth...she kisses his mouth...
Mad about the boy!
They'll say Norma's back at last!
Madame, the cameras have arrived
Norma
Max, where am I?
Max
This is the staircase of the palace
And they're waiting for your dance
NormaAnd they're waiting for your dance
Of course, now I remember;
I was so frightened I might fall...
MaxI was so frightened I might fall...
You're the greatest star of all!
Light!
Camera!
Action!
NormaCamera!
Action!
When he scorn me I knew he'd have to die
Let me kiss his severed head
Compromise or death, he fought to his last breath
He never had it in him to surrender
Just like me, he never could surrender
I can't go on with the scene; I'm too happy.
May I say a few words, Mr. De Mille?
I can't tell you how wonderful it is
To be back in the studio making the picture.
I promise you I'll never desert you again.
This is my life. It's always will be. There's nothing else.
Just us and the cameras
And all you wonderful people out there in the dark.
And now, Mr. De Mille, I'm ready for my close-up
Let me kiss his severed head
Compromise or death, he fought to his last breath
He never had it in him to surrender
Just like me, he never could surrender
I can't go on with the scene; I'm too happy.
May I say a few words, Mr. De Mille?
I can't tell you how wonderful it is
To be back in the studio making the picture.
I promise you I'll never desert you again.
This is my life. It's always will be. There's nothing else.
Just us and the cameras
And all you wonderful people out there in the dark.
And now, Mr. De Mille, I'm ready for my close-up
This time I'm staying, I'm staying for good
I'll be back where I was born to be
With one look, I'll be me.
I'll be back where I was born to be
With one look, I'll be me.

Arrowhead Provincial Park。。。
Arrowhead Provincial Park位于11号公路旁，Huntsville再往北一点。11号公路我们已走过无数次，每次都是到经Huntsville去Algonquin的。这次是和老婆从广州来的朋友一起去的。因是夏天的关系，到了Arrowhead太阳已经在我们的头顶上了。从Flickr上面的照片来看，Arrowhead可拍的景点并不多，再加上老婆的朋友也许对走trail不那么热衷，我们就只挑了几条比较休闲的trail边走边拍。
摆放在一旁的canoe。
水中的荷叶。这是我第一次下水拍，高兴坏了。
湖边的野花，又是我喜欢的广角。
这就是公园里的big bend。
老婆拍的小舟，时机抓的真好。
老婆再次发挥她的专长：拍小花。
第一天傍晚吃完烧烤后就匆匆赶去湖边拍日落。这一天的日落很平淡，没有云彩。我那时候也下水了，可是前景的水草太乱了，全都废了。
被拍烂的deck。
老婆的剪影。
箭头湖的日落，老婆拍的。
夏天的日出是在5点多左右，我们设好闹钟一大早就爬起来了。走到湖边，那里的雾气可大了，像仙境一样。可是要拍照的话可就难了，一大片的雾气把光线折散得太亮了，最后只好取个局部。
被一大片雾气笼罩的湖边。
拍完日出后也才6点多，我们回到帐篷继续睡，再次醒来的时候太阳已经高高挂起了。我们吃完早餐收拾完帐篷后就往Stubb's Falls开去。据说这里是U版的D200壮烈牺牲的地方，当然要来朝拜一下。来到的时候已经是11点多了，那么大的太阳想把瀑布拍得想牛奶状一样实在是太难了。随便拍了几张后就干脆坐下来用眼睛来欣赏这短暂的夏天带给我们的一篇翠绿。
