Porthole

When my camera is not zoomed in, I discovered that my new underwater macro lens creates a fun porthole effect, resulting in unintentional cameo scenes, two of which I thought I'd share here because they amuse me. It's like being in a submarine...

Ping Shan Heritage Trail

Land of no cheese is now taking a short break until mid-May. By which time summer should have arrived, fingers crossed. See you then.

Fiddler in the mud

Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre

Hong Kong Wetland Park

These crabs are the lucky ones. Intertidal animals living at the site of the proposed Lung Mei artificial beach project might not be so lucky. Unless the government scoops them all up before pouring sand all over their homes and rehouses them in a nice, fun-for-all-the-family exhibit, of course.

Temperate, un-Hong-Kong-like plants grow on the cooler slopes of Tai Mo Shan.
