Moody Jungle

Hello My Dear Great Ones,

I live right on the edge of a magnificent sub-tropical jungle otherwise known as Shing Mun Country Park.  The other day I went on a meander through my "backyard," and since it was overcast and a harsh plus 12 I took a few of these moody shots.  I think they are rather interesting in a dark, abstract way and give a small indication of the remarkable diversity of plant life in the park.

On the road that meanders throughout the park.

Into the jungle:

Bamboo grove.

This is a common sight in HK.  Roots growing on the side of a cement encased slope. (to prevent mudslides)

The blossoms this time of year are interesting.

Have a great week everyone!

Love adios and ping on!

Field trips are so exhausting.

Kids travel like this in China all the time.
