Such Beautiful Scenes (家附近的風景)

#2018-0320

I love being surrounded by such beautiful scenes (See photos).

I believe these pictures will tell you stories -- stories about things that have already, or never, happened to you so far. If you get no stories from me at this moment, then create some of your own.

Believe it or not, you can always make good use of your imagination, if you like.

What's occurred to you? What are you thinking about for now? -- Well, do you see the two bunny rabbits on the parapet (low wall) on the roadside? (In fact, the decorated wall is on the edge of a bridge that doesn't look like a bridge!) What are the two rabbits looking at? ...

Do you see the small three-leaf plants that grow closely together and may have pink or yellow flowers? (As far as I know, they are called zuojiang cao, 酢漿草, in Chinese, but not exactly the same as clover or shamrock.) Can this three-leaf plant be also a symbol of the Holy Trinity? ...

This past Sunday (March 18) we informally celebrated St. Patrick's Day in our church, though St. Patrick's Day should be on March 17 every year (See Wikipedia English). According to the Irish tradition, St. Patrick used shamrock, a three-leaf plant, to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity in Ireland in the 5th century.
