I took this shot in Yuen Long and was told there was a fire in this music and video shop. Well, FSI stands for “fire scene investigation” and as you can see, we had more than enough investigators on site :-)

a candid shot I got of an impromptu tai chi lesson by one of the monks to a bus driver at Po Lin Monastery. Unfortunately, a number of other tourists noticed that I was a bit off the beaten path taking pictures and a small crowd formed, ruining whatever ‘intimacy’ was there to begin with. ~Tex~

This is such a fun shot! Thanks to Tex for sharing it :-)

About staying young at heart: while I bothered the ants with my camera (see this photo), my dad played with my nephews. The kids (or little rascals) had been begging him the whole afternoon so finally my dad agreed to help them make a fire with some pine cones they had gathered :-). Well, they used the barbeque pit but we really didn’t need that fire. Sshhhh, don’t tell them about this post…Have a good weekend!

This photo is for Lavender Lady who’s enjoying her grandma stage in Sequim :-) and Meg in Nelson who can never be too old to stay young at heart!!

“Chief, paparazzi alert! This one is not myrmecophobic…” (Myrmecophobia = fear of ants)
These guys were working extra hard to get ready for autumn, smart of them to hang around a picnic ground. They don’t seem to be anthropophobic. (Anthropophobia = fear of people) Here’s a shot from the ants’ point of view.
Do you have any phobia? Phobophobia, maybe??!! LOL (Phobophobia = fear of phobias)

This can go with a Chinese idiom: 一葉知秋. These four characters are literally: One, Leaf, Aware, Autumn; loosely meaning you can tell it’s autumn by seeing a leaf, extending to other meanings such as awareness of nature, logics in daily life and mindful observations in life.

So here it is, autumn in HK. This photo was taken at the country park seen in yesterday’s photo and is inspired by this photo by Kris and of course, many of Bob’s.
