Wild Scallions 野葱

Wild scallions are growing everywhere. They are edible. But, they won't be as good as farm grown. I threw them onto compost heap.

野葱到處亂生亂長。雖說它們是可吃的, 我認爲還是農場培育的才更好吃。順手丟棄堆肥堆。(想到小時候老師和課本教--對岸同胞吃草根... !!!)

I borrowed these scallion pictures from Rev. Chuang's blog. They enjoyed the food and one day trip to northeast coast-Yilan, Taiwan. What a treat they shared.

我自莊牧師-這是我的部落格借這幾張青葱的照片
他們分享一日旅遊臺灣東北岸宜蘭三星農場等處的報導。令我口水流不停呢!

Catch the Train 追火車

我在魚夫的博客上看到這張照片, 禁不住而留言回應如下:

魚夫勇敢趕火車,
可惜雙腳尖著地作樣。
不過,
此圖景令人想起,
少年時跳火車的往事。

* 想當年讀初高中時上學返家連續追趕跳了六年的火車。雖是少年無智的行爲, 卻令人回味不盡。


I saw this picture on Yufu's blog, and left a comment (something like the following in English).

Yufu bravely catches the train.
Unfortunately, it's only a posture for picture.
But,
This picture brings to my mind,
Chasing train while I was young.

* For six years, I took the train round trips while I was in junior and senior high school. Even though catching (chasing or jumping) a train like that was not an acceptable behavior, that was what we young lads did long long ago.

Visitors 訪客

Sirtea Garden visitors: 2 Wrens and 2 Canadian Geese.
This wren sat on top of pine cone flower high up in the air(↓ left) . I used 5X telephoto (my Olympus maximum 5X) to take this picture. It's a bit blurry.
← Two Canadian Geese dropped in to visit. Our white female duck befriended with them. I hoped she wouldn't elope with them.


茶翁家園來了二隻鷦鷯鳥和兩隻過境的加拿大鵝。
這隻鷦鷯停息在半空中的松果花上。我用奧林寳五倍遠焦距拍攝, (↑ 左)照片糢糊些。
這兩隻(↑)過境的加拿大鵝跟白母鴨走得很親近。但願她不會跟着牠們私奔才是。
