No Flower Fruit 無花生果

Haa! What is "No Flower Fruit"?
It's fig. Fig is called "no無 flower花 fruit果" in Mandarin.
Fig leaves start to bud in the spring, and tiny figs follow without flowering first. We will have a good crop this year.

大家都熟知的無花果, 春天一到來, 不經過開花的過程就長葉子隨即長出小果子來。
看樣子今年的無花果會有好收成的。

Rain Relief 及時雨

We had rain shower at noon time for about an hour.

It made everything greener and air cleaner.

Thank God for this temporary relief from pollen.

今天中午下了一個多小時雨。

草地樹木看起來青綠多, 而空氣也較清新。

感謝上帝下了這陣及時雨, 暫時除去滿佈的花粉。

Duck Feather 鴨羽毛

Male ducks fought for female duck with each other. And then the winner chased the female duck. I picked up some feathers and arranged them. Here are my feather art works.





雄鴨爲爭雌鴨而常爭風吃醋不時打架, 嬴者窮追母鴨。結果我撿到不少羽毛, 而將它們拼湊成圖案。
