I'm sorry for getting so loose and slow in response ...
We have changed gradually our daily rhythm for the summer ...
I will get back to you all one by one :)
Wish you all a beautiful day!

THE COLORS OF JUNE 六月 . 4







July has sneaked in.
We are already half way through 2011.
But I'm still with the colors of June ...
Recalling the time when they were still green ...

I'd seen these trees everyday.
Till this time I saw them differently.
That day.
A white flower with thick petals came into our sight as we walked to the school bus station.
We didn't know what it was.
The secret revealed up to the time we saw a baby lemon ...

We has started an expedition on rediscovery of wonders around our place since early June.
To find fruit bearing trees within our small village ...


Papaya 木瓜


Wampee 黃皮



Pomegranate 石榴


Flowers of Starfruit 楊桃


Banana 蕉


Pomelo 沙田柚


Lychee 荔枝



Lemon 檸檬


Tangerine 桔




Mango 芒果




Jackfruit 大樹菠蘿


Longan 龍眼



And, we found this abandoned skin of Cicada clinging to a leaf ...


Some unknown species ...




This one looks like guava but it has a big round seed ...


We found :
10,00......Papaya 木瓜
20,00......Wampee 黃皮
30,00......Pomegranate 石榴
40,00......Starfruit 楊桃
50,00......Banana 蕉
60,00......Pomelo 沙田柚
70,00......Lychee 荔枝
80,00......Lemon 檸檬
90,00......Tangerine 桔
10,00......Mango 芒果
11,00......Jackfruit 大樹菠蘿
12,00......Longan 龍眼
13,14......Two unknown species

And some trees, like :
persimmon 柿子,
green apple guava 番石榴,
wax apple 蓮霧,
ginsengfruit 人參果
had disappeared ...
(They did once exist around the place we live ... )

Always, in my perception, Hong Kong is a monotonous concrete city ...
Just don't realize that there is quite a diversity even within such a tiny village!
