清晨五點就爬起來與攝友相約一同來到海澱上莊一處水生植物苗圃,一輪紅日冉冉升起,金色的光芒散射大地,此刻只有我們與荷氏家族靜靜的對話。不大的苗圃裡種植著一片片的蒲葦、香蒲、菖蒲、水蔥、慈姑、再立花、梭魚草、千屈菜等多種唯管水生植物、挺水植物、和浮水植物及多種精品荷花。晨曦中荷花在漣漪弄影,戀花的季節,夏日的丹霞,指尖倏忽被朝霞染成胭紅,顫顫著在婵的鳴唱裡續夢。清晨是最佳的拍荷辰光,經過一晚的雨露滋潤,迎著朝陽,朝氣蓬勃,綻放美麗。每年的六、七、八月,荷花分不同月份展示著美麗的風姿,喜歡荷花的我站在荷塘邊、觀賞著荷的花開花落,被荷的美麗所傾倒,欣賞不夠也贊美不絕。據說此苗圃的水生植物是京城各大公園的專供,圓明園荷花展南大門的盆栽觀賞荷均出自於此,早知如此何必大老遠的跑到圓明園湊熱鬧,家門口就有一片荷花寶地。荷花:清白、堅貞、純潔,秉性樂靜,慣為傘、為座、為屋,悟佛養心,一生只承接光雨,如同日月星辰,將自己修煉成一種圓形的,綠色巾綸。艷麗的荷花,清香遠溢,碧葉翠蓋,十分高雅。周敦頤之名篇《愛蓮說》稱其“出污泥而不染”,贊美荷花的高貴品格,將其視為清白、高潔的象征,荷花是花中品德高尚的花。其實荷花的全身都對人們有著巨大的作用。蓮藕可供人食用,蓮子是滋補佳品,藕節、蓮子、荷葉等是中醫治病的好藥材。荷花、花葉能供人觀賞,荷花生長的地方,還有淨化水質、優化環境、美化風景的作用。遠眺湖翠紫煙生,近觀小荷點點紅。瑤池波清彩影動,圓葉半掩露芙蓉。小蓬相依綠傘下,碧葉田田不飄零。借問彩船欲何往,穿過霧霭是彩程。古人吟荷、畫荷,今人賞荷、拍荷,哪裡有荷花,哪裡就有拍荷的人,仲夏時節高出鏡率的是荷花,它讓新手發現荷花好看不好拍,它讓老手發奮年年要拍出新意,有所突破。我卻越拍越不知如去何拍了。惡補與荷相關的古詩,參閱他人拍荷的精品,品味荷的內涵與畫意。再試一把與荷氏家族的親密接觸。
