 Scenes found near my new home 

(3/2/2025)


Sight and sounds of a community compound 

園區中植滿不同樹木花卉,裝點在所有建築物近旁,通衢走道邊,樓房之間的庭院或小型花園,整頓得清爽亮麗。建築以西班牙元素如拱門等的造型設計為主


草莓樹 Strawberry tree

園中有不少懸掛著貌似草莓果的植物,秋冬之交結了滿樹紅橘黃色球果 據稱果子能食用但並不可口*

草莓树(学名:Arbutus unedo)是浆果鹃属下的一种常绿灌木或小树,原产于地中海地区,分布最西可达爱尔兰。在爱尔兰常被称为“爱尔兰草莓树”(Irish strawberry tree)或“基拉尼草莓树”(Killarney strawberry tree)- 維基百科




*According to online info, the flavor of this fruit's orange flesh tastes like bland peach.  But if the pulp is sieved, cooked, and prepared with sugar and lemon juice, it can be made into a delicious jam.


美國梧桐

American Sycamore 

Sycamore trees with seeds lined the pathways near the parameter of the compound 

梧桐的秋實像無數的小鈴鐺懸掛在光秃的枝枒上



Community Garden 社區花/菜園

做為社區花園的一名成員 享受蒔花栽樹或種菜的樂趣,收成時節辦各種活動分享耕耘的成果,健身又健心!



春天來到園中,小李樹也開花了
A plum sapling  began to put forth blossoms 


邊上來了一隻紅狐狸
不對,這不是真的狐狸!
Under the flowering tree came a red fox 
Oh no, it’s not a real fox!

 

一隻寵物鸚鵡,這可是隻真的鸚鵡!
A pet parrot, a real one!

 社區居民帶了她的𠖥物- 綠色的鸚鵡遊園, 在小花園中歇息。這鸚鵡已經22 歲,女主人說:牠還能活到六十多歲喔!





From the arch opening at the end of a covered corridor between two structures, you get a peek of the surrounding hillside scenes 

兩幢建築間的廊橋尾端,一扇石牆拱形𥦬洞開向戶外,藍空映照之下的遠山近樹一覽無遺



環繞園區步道
Inside the compound, a few sections of trails connected inside the parameter for pedestrians or hikers

園區的外圍或由水泥鋪設步道,或以園林樹木邊地劃為園區內步道嘉惠長者,無需驅車外出即可就地走路健身。

A paved walking path meanders  through the compound lined with tall trees and lower hedgerows near the edge of the compound 

聽到鳥聲啁啾嗎?

Did you hear the birds’ chirping?

褪盡落葉枯枝中露出枝葉纒紥成的鳥巢,養育成功的雛鳥早已離巢而去,或許在園區不同角落另築自己的家庭?或許偶爾出現在你窗前傳遞婉轉细語?

Hope you sleep tight tonight and have sweet dreams !
