The north in early summer is not only the most lively, prosperous and lively season of nature, but also the season when peony flowers are in full bloom, making people happy and forgetful.
On Thursday, as soon as the second photography class of Huailai County University for the Elderly finished the theory class, teacher Yuan Xiufeng and class leader Duan Fang called on everyone to sign up to go to Yanqing to shoot peony flowers the next day to consolidate what they learned in class.
On the morning of May 10th, the students of the second class of photography took a car all the way east, with green mountains and green waters, picturesque scenery, and intoxicating. As soon as I stepped into the boundary of the peony flower sea in Fugaoying Village, Dayu Town, Yanqing District, Beijing, the rich peony of the hibiscus had already made people "struggling" and "powerless". That sea of flowers as dazzling as a paradise, in the green mountains and green waters, spread out in an instant, at this moment, people feel that there is probably no flower like the sea of flowers here is unforgettable.
It is said that the peony garden in Yanqing Dayushu Town is a comprehensive standardized demonstration area for peony cultivation in Beijing, which integrates scientific research, production and tourism. The park covers an area of hundreds of acres, and is a tourism brand culture integrating tourism appreciation, new variety cultivation, germplasm resource preservation and protection, and flower culture dissemination. From a distance, it looks like a sea of flowers, standing in the sea of flowers, with "this scene should be in the sky, it is rare to smell it in the world", "this flower should be appreciated in the sky, picking a branch of incense in the world." "It is not an exaggeration to praise Yanqing peony.
Walking into the peony garden, all you see in front of you are dazzling, purple and red peony flowers. Hu Hong, Wei Zi, Luoyang Red, Baixue Tower and other varieties of peony are one after another, the flowers are chic, and the garden is full of purple and red.
The blooming flowers, the faint fragrance of flowers, and the petals of the "heavy mountains" are all full of temptation, dizzying and pleasing to the eye. From time to time, people exclaim, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful." It's too late to describe in words, the "long guns and short cannons" are aimed at the sea of flowers, the telephoto shoots the boundless flower ladder, and the macro is aimed at the peony flowers, and only the sound of the camera shutter of "click-click" can be heard echoing in the flower field.
A gust of wind blows, and the refreshing aroma of peony flowers comes to the nostrils, which makes people feel refreshed and linger. In the meantime, along with the undulating terrain of the flower platform, a cluster of peony flowers, a cluster of bright crowns, a huge corolla, a cluster, a cluster of red like a flame, enthusiastic and unrestrained, pink like the sunset on the horizon, mysterious, white like a bright moon in the night sky, holy and flawless...... The overlapping petals stretch out in all directions, and the stamens are a little goose yellow, which makes the flowers even more gorgeous and moving.
Some leaned down to smell the flowers, some changed into costumes and took photos with the flowers, recording the beauty with photos, and some calling friends to share novel varieties. In addition to the flowers themselves, the leaves of peonies are also quite ornamental. The emerald green leaves, as crystal clear as emerald, add a touch of vitality and vitality to the entire peony garden.
At this moment, people will always be reminded of the poem: "Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." Indeed, the beauty of the peony lies not only in its flowers, but also in the noble and friendly temperament that it exudes as a whole.
Walking out of the peony garden, it rained on the way back, but it did not affect the students to share the harvest after photographing peony flowers. Talking about this practical class is like having a silent conversation with peony flowers, feeling the beauty and power they convey.
Peony has been the king of flowers in people's minds since ancient times, with its graceful and luxurious status, endearing and admired. Nowadays, people's love for peony is not only because of its national color and fragrance, but also because it symbolizes the pride of the bones, revealing the beauty and prosperity of the atmosphere.
Let us embrace life calmly and elegantly with our love and admiration for peonies, the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty in the world, neither humility nor arrogance, nor sorrow or joy!
