So a very nice decoration in your home desk as well as a great fruit snack, totally nature, free of any harmful pesticide.

Global warming seems to be extending its evil claw to our daily life. Today I even heard the terrible news from newspaper that one polar bear is swimming to death since it can’t find a complete land after several hours trying. Sounds horrible.

Going green seems to be the only solution to the problem of Global warming. To go green we ” the Humans” need to change our habits. Using bicycle to commute instead of polluting through energy consuming vehicles along with growing as many plants as possible can make a great difference to save this planet!

Don’t just blame, do something. Using bicycles can also has the bonus effect of loosing weight and good to health. Growing plants also can make our living enviroment better and nicer. So why not?

Home decor does requires inspirations and artistic creation. Simply the display of green plants in some corner of your room is not as easily as you thought.

Play your green plants like  a piece of art, they may achieve the effect of bringing the painted dragon to life by putting in the pupils of its eyes. Your room would have much live spirits with them.

1, First care about the plant breed you are choosing. Not all kinds of plants got that artistic look you are looking for.

2, Fitting in the surrounding colors. Capture their beauty by taking shots of you with them.

3, Learn how to grow each of them well by seaching info on the net, you don’t want to lose them in short time.

Whether it’s at home or your office, keeping plants is fun.

I was feeling quite upset by life’s trivals recently, added that the work pressure is heavier than ever. Sometimes it made me hard to breath, I gotta run away for a short time, to let it go.

My sentimental feeling was killing me, mom encourage me to look at the brighter side and she sees nothing serious for me to be upset about. What I need is to close to nature to relieve the stress a little bit, the big city got so fast living rythem and it’s been a while that I haven’t climbed mountains and do the real outdoor green adventure thing.

Climb the mountains, standing high to see better view and broaden your mind. Just like the following  lyric goes like:

Standing on higher ground,
I see the world, And I’m looking from a high place,Way above it all,
Standing on higher ground

I breathe the air, While they’re running in a rat race,Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

Different kinds of flowers got different meanings. That’s why people sending differnet flowers in different ocassions and to different receiver. Tulip, is a flower of love. To let you know better, I listed it’s connotations below:

Tulip (General) – Perfect Lover, Fame, Flower Emblem Of Holland, Luck
Tulip (Red) – Believe Me, Declaration Of Love
Tulip (Variegated) – Beautiful Eyes
Tulip (Yellow) -There’s Sunshine In Your Smile

Growing tulip flowers can be a highly enjoyable and creative activity, especially when you educate yourself on the craft of tulip bulb planting. The types of tulip flowers and the time of year that you first plant tulip bulbs depend upon where you live in the world.

Other time, I saw a beautiful lady in the garden smelling the scent of tulip. What a nice impression.

keeping some kind of nice plants in your office desk is a great idea to make you feeling better every working day.  Question is: Can you keep them alive ? I’v tried for several kinds of plants, but failed after short monthes.

The dead list even includes a Cactus, which is one of those plants with strong will and living capacity.

So the tips for you would be like this based on the experiece I got with the green plants.

1, Choose the kind of plants that are not so delicate and fragile.
2, The green plants must be fond of shade enviroment, not sun type.
3, Avoid flowers type, since they may be kind of trouble to keep fresh and live.
4, Water regularly and with appropriately.
5, Don’t let the air condition directly blow it.

Maybe you got something to add here.

I was fasinated by this red color composition here, it must be the red maple leave that only can be seen on deep autumn.  This reminds me of a classic old song performed by Hongkong singer called: 片片枫叶情 “Feelings of maple leaf” .

The lyric is quite beautiful, while no English version is found. Listening to the song, you must be lost in nostalgia, trying to image what those old love story in the last generation looks like. I was born the 80’s generation, and this song is most popular during the time we are just born, but time made it become classic.

Nanjing got a great spot to watch red maple leaf called “ZiXia mountain”. It’s my mistake, who are so lazy to miss the great moment of those moment. Plus, it got so many people at that time, you can’t barely take a complete photo with no other head inside.

Leave you a question, we all know tulip is flower of love, what about the maple leaf ?

I bet there must be very green grass in your city, public ones or private ones. Each of those grass area are unique and offers a great place for leisure.

In the city I live, the green grass spot I remembered the most would be in front of the famous North Building in  the Nanjing Univercity. The grass breed are pricy and carefully trimmed, any irresponsible tread is totally banned. So laying down on those grass is impossible, but you got to take few shots to capture them in your memory.

Whenever there is a sunny day, you would see pretty girls walking around along the grass, reading, chatting. The students of Nanjing university is so lucky to enjoy such a beautiful campus with old old trees everywhere to tell us how the history has passed around the campus quietly.

Anyway, I like the feeling of walking or lying in the green green grass. My eyes and mind would be filled with green impressions.

Troubles gone. Smile Returns.

This past Dragon boat festival has leaving me a lot of happy moments and impressions. Three days off work, off the pressure, to stay with mom and dad, nowhere to go, just focusing on food and drink and sleep well.

Life is simple and happy. The spreading H1N1 flu horror has made lots of people changed their mind to go travelling somewhere in this short 3 days holiday. The airlines to some countries abroad is nearly closed up, such as Japan or Mexica.

I see no time better than staying with my family, since I really don’t stay with them too often after graduating from university and work in a different city, not far from home, but meet mom and dad less and less in a year. I nearly forget how my moms recipe tastes like. I quite like the fish dish she made.

When I at home, I keep a close look at our vegetable garden and found it very interesting, plus, I taken a few shots through Micro Lens model, turns out quite nice pictures.

面朝大海，春暖花开

by Hai Zi 海子

From tomorrow, be a happy man
Feeding horses, chopping woods, traveling around the world
From tomorrow, care for food and vegetables
I have a house, facing to the ocean, flowers blossoming in spring

From tomorrow, write to every daring family member
Tell them my happiness
What the lightening of happiness have told me
I will tell everybody

Get a warm name for every river every mountain
Stranger, I bless you too
Bless you a great future
Bless you be with your lover
Bless you receive happiness in your mortal life

And me, I want to face to the ocean, with flowers blossoming in spring

Such a beatiful poem. Pity that Hai Zi is passed away. Have blessings in your mind, slow down your life rythem and spend more time with your beloved family members.

Get away from all those intrigues against each other in life and work. Escape from all life’s trouble. “I have a house, facing to the ocean, flowers blossoming in spring”

Day by day, the summer heat would be more and more harder to endure, added there are many annoying insects, with mosquitos  to bear the brunt. Good news is that, some insect expects said earlier that, this 2009 summer year, mosquitos would be less than previous years. Reasons?

1, The weather acts like a naughty child, warm air, cold air comes by turns in March and Appril that even leaving temperature difference often up to 10 degrees………..Humans can barely endure, let alone the mosquitos.

2, Our city has been more clean and people pay more attention to hygiene matters.

Whatever, that’s the general case. What if you have a green garden near your home, will those plants and flowers attracts more mosquitos than elsewhere ? I believe so, that’s why people use insect killer in the garden.

That’s kind of dispointing, but the advantage of a green garden must exceeds these little unpleasant very greatly.

As a Chinese, I hate to admit the fact that most of us would choose the Japanese brand when buying Digital Camera. Canon or Sony, Sony or Canon…. There seems nonwhere to run. Oh, god, japanese are so good at those electric gadgets that needs precision.

Based on my exprience with Canon and Sony digital camera,  Canon seems to perform better when photo color is the focus and Sony always run ahead with the stylish design and fashion apparence. That’s the general impression.

I like to take shot in my garden and other green area, recording those flowers with name or not, those little grass. Canon often do a better job.  Check My Canon IXUS95 Work in My Vegetable Garden.

Sony certainly got this benifits and markets too, in fact, if you are not the professionist, sometimes, it’s hard to tell which is good, which is bad. Skill matters too.

Either one you chose, investigate more in advance in those BBS, and look at the sample picture other people takes and make your decision. If you are going to buy the expensive camera gadgets like the lens, bring a camera geek with you in case your heavy money is lost in sweet talks by the sales.
