One day in late spring - 晚春的一日

One day in late spring 

晚春的一日

 5/14/2025

Looking out from where I was, there’s always things catching my attention, moving or stationary, things worthy of my time to take a look

A springtime display 

陽台的展覽

The springtime display of your prize possessions, something you made or put together which you like to share with your friends or neighbors 

Such as this balcony display below.  It consists of mostly cactus’ and succulents in pots, plants which do not need much water or care, the type I like!

The other items on display include a few pottery in the form of animals such as a rabbit, a dove and a turtle among others.

There’s also a small bird, dangling from one of the pots, maybe a real bird which was accidentally caught flying by and tangled up with one of the thorny plants

**Roses on the left and Dianthus barbatus, or 

sweet William on the right hand side

Dianthus barbatus, the sweet William, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to southern Europe and parts of Asia.

Borage flowers* are bees’ favorite in gardens 

琉璃苣

From garden to table, borage is versatile as a delicacy in salad and can be used as garnish to your main dish.  Both leaves and flowers are edible 

Better yet, visit your nearest restaurant, sampling a steak or seafood dinner, or ordering a simple salad appetizer 

 吃喝人生大事

Savor your favorite food to your preferences, or try different things one at a time

Bon Appétit  !!
