霧中風景.....

A foggy notion about Mother Nature...

Garlic Vine, Lily, and Queen's Crepe Myrtle

#2019-0528


This morning Jean and I visited her mother in Dajia. When we left from there in the afternoon, I was surprised to see two lily flowers growing out of the fence: They were white and very beautiful, so I stopped to take pictures of them.

Also, I took two pictures of the garlic vine, which I had written about last year. If you like, click and see Garlic Vine (蒜香藤) and/or 紫鈴藤 -- Garlic Vine Again.

Then we returned to Wufeng in the afternoon. And in the late evening we took a walk in the lighted space near our house. (We have recently formed the habit of taking a short walk in the evening, especially when we feel a little upset, worried and sad.) With my cellphone camera, I took pictures of the giant crepe myrtle at the edge of the public parking lot. I hope I'll add to my personal blog (Mookoo's Home) as many beautiful things as I can.

櫻花步道 ● 好漢坡 ● 蛇

#2019-0527

(櫻花步道) Cherry Blossom Trail ... 
(好漢坡) Strong Man Hill ... 
(蛇) Snakes ...

Instead of joining in the Camel Brothers and Sisters' trip to a scenic spot a few dozen kilometers away in Changhua County, Jean and I went hiking in the nearby mountains this morning.

We walked along the Cherry Blossom trail -- What a beautiful name it is! Yet in this season we could see no cherry blossoms, but a few wild flowers and ... oh, yes, we were overwhelmed by thousands and thousands of green leaves of the various kinds of trees over there. No cherry blossom at all, though.

We walked very slowly, as it is a trail on the steep slopes of the so-called "Strong Man Hill." And after we reached the highest part of the mountain, we had to walk along a shady dirt path that is much narrower than the Cherry Blossom trail, so that we could walk down the other side of the mountain. We were a little excited hiking there, for we took that route for the first time.

Then something really exciting happened. Jean pulled my arm, making me almost step back. "Snake! Over there, do you see..." she was so nervous that her voice became different. "Oh, no, two snakes!" she added. She was right. Now I could clearly see that there were two snakes -- big and long, as I could see. They entwined with each other, so tightly together that you might also have mistaken them for just one snake! -- What were they doing there at the edge of the path? I think I've correctly guessed. (Smiled, though a little scared.)

標題太長(五絕)

#2019-0521

《標題太長,如註:某日開車返鄉探親,巧逢雨後,山嵐處處可見,靈機一動把車頭轉往 "水長流" 故居老厝,原想拍攝幾幅山嵐美景,卻因房子周遭高大、濃密的樹木阻擋了視野,只得針對老家真實景象,做如下簡要的紀錄。》

古厝無人住
庭前蔓草生
松梅多故事
風雨續前情
