I have always loved Daddy Long Legs spiders, even when I was terrified of other spiders. This is the first time I got a closeup of one.
Nature at Work
On a recent walk on Christian Hill Road, we came across some fascinating aspects of nature. We have many frogs out back in our pond, and in the spring the little peepers, only about an inch or so, are fun to see. But on this day we came across the tiniest frog I have ever […]
The Red Dragonfly
The red dragonfly would hover nearby, but somehow every photo was blurry. I went back to the pond several times, same blurry photos. Today I went to the pond and there were two red dragonflies! I took a couple of dozen photos, but just this one came out clear.

Dad at 93

Bev’s Garden – May 2015

Hong Kong Park Conservatory
The Hong Kong Park Conservatory is another gem in this urban oasis. An introductory room shows orchids and other beauties, while upstairs are two rooms devoted to dry and wet plant areas.
Hong Kong Park Aviary
Not far from our hotel is Hong Kong Park. One section of the park is a magnificent aviary. The wooden paths run through the middle, high up from the ground. A massive metal net encloses the area.
