The First Day of 2018

(2018-01-02 15:34:43) 下一個
When much of the U.S. was in the grip of bone-chilling temperatures, it was warm and sunny as usual here on the first day of the new year, with the high temperature hovering around 70 F in the day.
 
In the afternoon of this sunny day, we drove to a nearby beach, hoping to catch the sights of the sunset and moonrise as an embrace for the new year.  It was no surprise that parking was mostly packed in the crowded beach, where people of different races were gathering for the parties. It was not a perfect day for the beach, when the azure sky converges seamlessly with the blue sea surface.  Instead, the sky was dimmed and veiled with mist and cloud,losing much of its luster. We walked down the cliff, roamed in the soft beach, breathed in the fresh air, took a few pictures before heading off to the Top of the World, a mountain summit not as lofty as the name suggests, but is high enough for us to have a bird-view of the cities underneath, with one side of the mountain adjacent to the vast Pacific sea.
 
It was around 4:30 pm when we reached there.  More people than we thought flocked to the platform, some carrying big cameras and tripods. The sky at the top of the mountain was then clear and blue, with white clouds patching or dotting the two thirds of sphere.  The other one-third in the west side was tinged with sunsetting orange-colored rays, bursting out of the dark clouds and casting its shimmering gold on the sea surface.  It was beautiful, but not at its best.  As we watched the sunset changing colors and patterns minutes by minutes, we kept turning our heads to the other side in anticipation of the moonrise, which was forecast to show up at 4:55.  Yet by 5:20 pm, the moon was still nowhere to be seen.  When the last sun ray retreated itself to the back of the clouds, it was dark and cold.  Seeing not a slightest chance, people collected their tripods and prepared to leave.  So did we. It was a bit disappointing not being able to witness the rising splendor of the full moon as it coincided with the first day of new year.
 
The moon finally broke out of the thick clouds to our full sight when we were down the hills and on the highway around 5:35 pm.  Though the first night full moon was far from being golden and dazzling, it is the same moon that has for centuries perked on the night sky, shedding its brightness upon us, with its charm and elegance, of which we shall be eternally appreciative.
 
With an eventful 2017 bygone, we are looking forward to a peaceful year!
 
 
       今晚吃飯, 發現一首新歌,原唱是王菲,這首歌的歌詞寫得特別好, 特貼此。為照片配樂配情:))。 

      天空

  我的天空為何掛滿濕的淚
  我們天空為何總灰的臉
  漂流在世界的另一邊
  任寂寞侵犯一遍一遍
  天空掛著長長的思念
  你的天空可有懸著笑的臉
  你的天空可會有藍的月
  放逐在世界的另一邊
  任寂寞占據一夜一夜
  天空藏著深深的思念
  我們天空何時才能成一片
  我們天空何時能相連
  等待在世界的各一邊
  任寂寞嘻笑一年一年
  天空疊著層層的思念
  但願天空不再掛滿濕的淚
  但願天空不再塗上灰的臉

 

第一張照片中下麵淡淡的金黃光亮是日光在海麵上的倒影。

暖冬cool夏 回複 悄悄話 回複 '菲兒天地' 的評論 : 菲兒,那天就是衝著月亮去的,以為有紅月,查了時間。結果雲太厚,沒看見。不過也就有了詩意和日記了。謝謝菲兒再次臨博。
菲兒天地 回複 悄悄話 回複 '土豆-禾苗' 的評論 : +1哈哈哈,暖冬描寫得真好,還下了日出的時間,和我們在馬裏蘭時海邊的酒店一樣,天天告訴你幾點會有日出。這次我們在加州看的,在酒店和親戚朋友的家。:)祝暖冬,女兒,還有領導新年快樂幸福!
暖冬cool夏 回複 悄悄話 回複 'Once-always' 的評論 : Oncemm早!不管什麽稱呼,mm喜歡我就喜歡。你真是糖裏長大的,甜呢,這篇寫得吃力,沒內容,自己不滿意,硬是強迫寫的。那個鑽石獎無關痛癢的,在《歲月如歌》後麵。mm周三上班好!
Once-always 回複 悄悄話 暖mm新年第一天就有這麽精彩的文,景色的描寫好美,讓人感覺身臨其境,我也注意到新年那晚的月亮特別大,原來是full moon night. 很巧啊,新年第一天月亮就這麽給力。:)還是喜歡叫你暖mm,對了前麵你說的鑽石獎,我找了半天也沒找到,估計鑽石難覓。:)
