Sunbathing Turtles 曝日龜

Today is a sunshiny day. There are two turtles sunbathing, one at side is submerging in water.

晴天出大太陽, 烏龜都出來。圖中二隻烏龜正在日光浴, 另一隻在旁就要潛入水中。

Lake Level 湖水漲

After continual rain, the ground soaked wet. Our county's drought restrictions were lifted. The lake's water level rose to higher than usual. Lake water back flooded in through the drain holes. We are on a small hill. We don't have flood problem, but this picnic area. And this rarely ever happened.

連續下雨, 土壤都濕透了。鄉鎮也已經取消乾旱用水限制。湖水漲得比往常高, 從泄水出口反灌入湖邊休閒的地方。我們家位於小丘上, 不會有水氾, 僅僅這一小部份。這也是非常罕有的事。

Tiny Pigs 超小豬

Newborn mini pigs, have you seen them before? The hairs stand up all over its body. They are called arrow pigs. Cute, very cute.

看過這種剛出生超小的箭豬嗎? 有趣的是它們身上的毛髪是站立起來。非常可愛的小箭豬。

Rake Leaves 掃落葉

After rain and wind, leaves are all over the yard. Even though I can use gas blower/vac, I choose hand rake. Raking leaves will become my morning exercise for a while.

經過連續幾天下雨和風吹, 院子裡樹葉掉落到處都有。雖然可用吸吹器, 我選用爪耙仔。我將掃落葉當作這段落葉期早上的運動,一舉兩得呢。

Grass Seeds 撒草子

Ground was soaked wet after several days' rain. This morning I sowed grass seeds on barren spots. Hope that it would stop slope soil erosion.

連續下好幾天雨, 地上都濕透了。今天早上我在這段斜坡撒草子。希望長草可以減少因雨水所造成的土壤流失。

這是大自然的生命力。掉落滿地的橡樹子已經在發芽生根作新一代繁殖了。

Playing In The Rain 雨中戲水

It Rained since last night, and continued until this moment. I took this video indoor through window. This morning in the pond, a crane and two ducks were playing in the rain. The crane stood on the wood branch. At times, I thought it was napping and was not even disturbed by the two ducks. After more than an hour, it took off finally. I was very lucky able to catch the crane taking off and touching down at the right time.

下了整夜雨, 一直到此刻還下不停。我從窗口拍攝這段影片。今天早上, 一隻鶴二隻水鴨在池塘雨中游樂。這隻鶴站在水中樹枝上好久都不移動, 我還以爲㸰在補眠(喥𪚩)呢, 連鴨子游到身旁都吵不動㸰。過了一個多小時才飛走。能拍到鶴振趐起飛和降落下來的動作還真是難得的機緣呢。

Greetings 打招呼

「嗨! 你好嗎?」
這些水鴨以一直點頭在互相打招呼。看來蠻有趣。可惜距離太遠, 我錄不到㸰們間談話的聲音。

"Hi! How are you?"
These water ducks greet each other by nodding their heads. They were too far away, I could not record their voices.
