大海的眼睛 & Anacapa Island (海市蜃楼)

翻箱倒柜， 找了点陈芝麻！:)

大海对我来说总是有着无法抗拒的诱惑。只要有机会我都会去亲近她。 家里也是摆满了我从海边带回的纪念品：大大小小的玻璃瓶子装着各个海滩采回的沙子， 大大小小的盒子里装满了各个海滩捡回的贝壳，海螺，珊瑚，还有稀奇古怪的石头，树桩......

这个长周末也不例外，第一天的清晨就出发，沿着傍海的加州一号公路南行，走走停停，7小时后才住进离圣芭卜拉不远的一家靠海的旅馆。只是海滩上异常的嘈杂，等黄昏人群几近散尽我才去海滩。夕阳撒在大海上，粼粼的波光象绸缎般的华美，但我却特别失望, 沙滩上没有贝壳，没有海螺，只有灰溜溜的小石头被海浪推来推去。在我就要空手而归的时候，我看见一个小石头上长着亮晶晶的眼睛望着我......

前些年我曾经开车走过澳洲的大洋路，在一个无名而又荒凉的海滩上，捡到过一个美丽而又完好无缺的海螺，我常常将它贴在耳边， 聆听大海声声不息的涛声。 现在我又有了一只眼睛， 来自大海......

是啊，不要贪婪，要有耐心，在长长的漫步中，潮水总是会带给我大海的馈赠。

On July 2nd I took a cruise trip to Anacapa Island located 11 miles away from Oxnard coast. On the way back we saw 5 blue whales and hundreds of dolphins. It was amazing to see those creatures in the ocean. On Ventura beach, I also found a stone shaped like an eye. I was so happy; it was really a lucky day. 大海的眼睛 was written when I went back to my hotel.
*Anacapa Island is the only Channel Island to retain its American Indian name, derived from the Chumash word, "Eneepah", meaning island of deception or mirage. 海市蜃楼














长眼睛的石头! 就在我桌上:-))
