"Snaky Plant"
I do not like the sight of this plant, it is too ugly, like a snake circling a victim. I did not cut down the plant because it is so unique. It is right in the middle of my Farm.
This creeping plant has a rough bark or is it something growing on the bark? It anchors deeply into the host plant, almost merging into it and perhaps one day becomes part of the host plant.

Effect of Climate Change or Haze to Delonix Regia
I waited for the flowers to come out, September, October, November, December, and now is 2016. No flower.
The tree at my backyard began to flower three years ago, October during first year (2013) and September during 2014 and last year, it just stopped flowering.
See, no red, just GREEN.

Bamboo
You won't believe that bamboo is a type of grass, it looks so woody.
It is the fastest growth plant in the world and can reach 2.5m in 24 hours for certain tropical species.
Its usefulness is so wide. The bamboo shoots are popular food among local people which can be easily plucked among the bamboo forest. The 75mm-100mm diameter bamboos are sometimes used as construction materials, such as bamboo buildings or for road construction on peat swamps. The natives often use the bamboo to make baskets, chairs and other furnitures.

Act of Balancing for Peacock Pansy
All living things seem to know how to balance themselves when standing on a slender structure.
This beautiful butterfly stretches its wings to achieve a more stable centre of gravity for its body.
For humans, they stretch their arms or carry a long rod, when walking on the rope.
Is it inborn instinct or learned techniques?
Green Green Grass
I like the view of this clean green green grass in the wind, it gives me peaceful mind. I saw in London, the British seemed to like vast green green lawns, giving them places to relax, pleasing view and healthier mind.
Humans just could not progress on this Planet Earth if there was no grass plants evolving at all. We depend too much on the grass species.
We eat rice, bread (wheat), barley and corns. We also eat beef, mutton, chicken which feed upon grass and corns.We drink milk from cows and goats. We also drink beer, whisky and vodka, made from certain grasses. We can also make fuel, paper, fertilizers, clothes, shelters and baskets, all because of grasses.
Do you aware of the importance of the grasses to this world? I guess not, everything is taken for granted.
But, often I disliked grasses, when they grew uncontrollably in my gardens and farm.

Flat Head Catfish
This large fish, about 450mm long, met its demise in the Friendship Park Lake and floated on the surface. The Park's cleaner collected the body and left at the lake side to be dumped, attracting handful of flies.
The Park was built ten years old, so this catfish is likely to be ten years old too. Catfish can attain a maximum life of 24 years and 1.5m length. So why this fish died at middle age ? Lack of oxygen or due to angler's hook?
When I was young, I followed my young uncle and cousins to catch fish in the streams. Catfish were often got hooked but most of the time less than 300mm long. The whiskers were the obvious characteristics. But back then I did not like to eat fish.
