生命的力量

一个人漫步在湖边，发觉很多人都在驻足观看着什么。走近一瞧，原来是鸭妈妈带着一群小鸭子在春天的玉渊潭里悠游！也许是因为自己也刚刚有了宝宝，也许是因为人们对于小生命都充满了关爱，不禁也停了下来。直至鸭妈妈带着小鸭子游出了自己的视线。小鸭子时而顽皮地从妈妈身边游开，时而又忙不迭地跟上大队，生怕妈妈不要了自己，实在让人忍俊不禁！

玉渊潭赏花

这次回北京时间太短，因此没有跟同学、朋友们联络。自己一个人又实在闷得慌，所以一个人走去玉渊潭公园赏花。不想，以赏樱花而闻名的玉渊潭里樱花已经全部凋谢。只剩下一丛红色郁金香格外扎眼。五月的北京，风和日丽，春光明媚。尽管这仅存的一丛郁金香也已现颓象，在午后阳光的照射下，依然让人流连忘返。阳光透过红色花瓣，使得一朵朵郁金香就像小红灯笼一样！
