November Bloosoms

My Dear Great Ones,

The other week Celia and I went for a gentle meander into our jungle.  Here are a few shots of the colors we saw:

Walk to Chuen Long

My Dear Great Ones,
Two hours from my home is the quaint village of Chuen Long.  It is located half way up Hong Kong's largest mountain, Tai Ma Shan, and is another example of the many interesting surprises that are here. The trail to get to Chuen Long provides many visual delights and is a very decent workout.

Another great example of how much nature there is in Hong Kong.  70% of Hong Kong is natural.  A view of Tseun Wan.

This crazy sight was at the entrance of the Chuen Long.

Chuen Long is not much of a village.  A few buildings and a few restaurants.  Lots of people 
(hikers) were out with umbrellas to ward off the sun.  Restaurants were doing a brisk business.

A great hike.   Have a wonderful week.

Love adios and ping on!

Gnarly Trees

My Dear Great Ones,

My "backyard" is 1400 hectares of jungle and being able to wander around in it is therapeutic.  The bio-diversity is fantastic, some of it is uplifting and happy while others are stark and moody, yet beautiful in a sombre way.  Here is a sample of what I mean:

This grove got flooded.

Have a great week everyone.

Love adios and ping on!
